Summary

This study is carried out to determine the effect of high and low GI of local foods using Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS™) on 24 hour blood glucose profiles.

Detailed description

Glycemic Index (GI) is a method of classifying foods based on the food's ability to raise the blood glucose level. Low GI foods are recommended as Participants will have a lower impact on blood glucose concentrations. The research sets out to determine the effect of GI on 24 hour blood glucose profiles in healthy Chinese male participants. There will be two test sessions where participants will consume either a high or low GI breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. Participants will take part in two test sessions (each spanning over 3 days and to monitor the participants' glycemic response using a Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGMS) throughout the period.This study specifically attempts to see how having high and low GI locally consumed meals impact on blood glucose.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	High glycemic index	Wheat yellow noodle, glutinous rice, tea with sucrose, biscuits, jelly made with sucrose and teriyaki chicken rice.The foods provided have been tested as high glycemic index. Participants' blood glucose will be monitored using the Continuous Glucose Monitor.
OTHER	Low glycemic index	Beta-glucan yellow noodle, basmati rice, tea with isomaltulose, biscuits, jelly made with isomaltulose and mung bean noodles.The foods provided have been tested as low glycemic index.Participants' blood glucose will be monitored using the Continuous Glucose Monitor.
