Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postprandial glucose (MAGE) excursion resulting from consumption of both diets. The MAGE calculation will be made by measuring the arithmetic mean of the difference between consecutive peaks and nadirs. Blood glucose will be measured continuously, however time points of interest are: 8.15am-9.00am (post breakfast), 10.30am-11.15am (post snacks), 12pm-12.45pm (post lunch), 6.00pm-6.45pm (post dinner).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Peak postprandial glucose excursion after meals<br> 2. The time to peak postprandial glucose excursion<br> 3. Mean blood glucose<br> 4. The standard deviation of blood glucose<br> 5. 24-hour glucose area under the curve (AUC).<br> Blood glucose will be measured continuously, however time points of interest are: 8.15am-9.00am (post breakfast), 10.30am-11.15am (post snacks), 12pm-12.45pm (post lunch), 6.00pm-6.45pm (post dinner).<br>
