Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine by how much, the ingestion of palm sugar increases blood glucose concentrations and what the corresponding glycaemic index is. The investigators estimate that the glycaemic index will be 68 (equal to that of sucrose).
Interventions
OTHERArenga Pinnata Sugar
50 g palm sugar given orally 1 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
OTHERGlucose
50 g glucose given orally 3 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
OTHERSucrose
50 g sucrose given orally 1 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Blood glucose concentrations | 2 months | During the labratory visits subjects will ingest glucose (control), sucrose or palm sugar. At time points 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes post ingestion blood glucose concentrations will be measured by finger prick blood samples. |
