- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To determine the glycaemic index for three kiwifruit cultivars, Blood glucose concentration will be measured immediately using a HemoCue® blood glucose meter.[Measure blood glucose concentrations at 0 (baseline x 2), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after a serving 50g available carbohydrate for each cultivar. Then compare the blood glycose response to that of glucose using area under the curve. Washout between session will be least 48-hour. ]
