Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the effects of 24-hour glycemic and insulinemic responses of brown rice (BR), white rice (WR) and brown rice with legume (BRL) diets.Timepoint: 12 MONTHS—

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Replacement of the commonly consumed staple food such as white rice with brown rice in diet can reduce the average 24hr glucose excursions insulin levels in blood over a period of time and could reduce diabetes risk in overweight and obese subjects. The study results would further form the basis for future intervention trials based on brown rice substitution to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and related chronic diseases.Timepoint: 12 months—
