Glycemic and Insulinemic Responses of Low-Carbohydrate Snack Foods

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Healthy
Registration Number
NCT04175496
Lead Sponsor
TC Erciyes University
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is develop recipes containing CHO less than ICR, prepare new snacks alternatives that could be consumed without need for additional insulin doses, and evaluate the glycemic and insulinemic responses of these recipes. A randomized crossover trial will include 15 healthy adults aged 19-30 years. All participants will consume 3 test foods and reference food (glucose solution, 2 times) in a random order. Blood samples will be collected at time points 0,15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. Glucose and insulin analyzes will be performed from blood samples. The results of these time points will be marked on the chart and the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) will be calculated for both glucose and insulin.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Postprandial glucose responsetwo hours postprandial period

Postprandial glucose response will be quantified as incremental area under the curve (iAUC) (mg/dL x minutes), which is calculated according to the trapezoidal rule by using blood glucose values at time points 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.

Postprandial insulin responsetwo hours postprandial period

Postprandial insulin response will be quantified as incremental area under the curve (iAUC) (mg/dL x minutes), which is calculated according to the trapezoidal rule by using blood glucose values at time points 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes.
