Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Blood Glucose LevelsBaseline (0 min), 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes on Day 1 and Day 4 of both study visits

Blood glucose were measured using glucometer (Accu Chek Performa, New South Wales, Australia) from finger-prick blood samples according to the standard operating procedure at baseline (0 min), 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Perceived Satiety (Area Under the Curve)Day 1 and 4 of both study visits

Perceived satiety measurements were rated using a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) which consisted of hunger (How hungry are you?), fullness (How full are you?), desire to eat (How strong is your desire to eat?), prospective food consumption (How much would you be able to eat right now?) and thirstiness (How thirsty are you?) (Tey, Salleh, Henry, \& Forde, 2017). The scale ranged from 0 (not at all) to 10 (very much) measured at baseline (0 min), 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. The area under the curve was calculated using trapezoid rule.

Food IntakeDay 1 and 4 of both study visits

The respondents were asked to record all the food or drink they had consumed including sauces, soup and gravies using household measures once they woke up in the morning until they went to sleep at night.
