Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of serving size and the addition of sugar on the glycemic response elicited by oatmeal compared to that elicited by cream of rice cereal.

Interventions

OTHERClassic Quaker Quick Oats

Various doses of oats without or with sugar

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incremental area under the blood glucose response curveFor 2 hours after consuming each test meal

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to peakDuring 2 hour period after consuming each test mealThe time at which the peak rise of blood glucose occured.
Peak rise of blood glucoseDuring 2 hour period after consuming each test mealThe highest concentration of blood glucose achieved after eating minus the fasting blood glucose.
Mean rate of decline in blood glucoseDuring 2 hour period after consuming each test mealThe rate of change in blood glucose between consecutive time points (Tx and T(x+1)) was calculated as: Rx = (Gx G(x+1))/(Tx-T(x+1)), where G(x+1) and Gx were the glucose concentrations at times T(x+1) and Tx, respectively. The mean rate of decline in blood glucose (Mean RD) was calculated as the weighted average of all the Rx values from the time of the peak glucose concentration to 120 min, with the weight based on the length of the time interval.
Maximum rate of decline in blood glucoseDuring 2 hour period after consuming each test mealThe rate of change in blood glucose between consecutive time points (Tx and T(x+1)) was calculated as: Rx = (Gx G(x+1))/(Tx-T(x+1)), where G(x+1) and Gx were the glucose concentrations at times T(x+1) and Tx, respectively. . The maximum rate in blood glucose decline (Max RD) was calculated as the maximum of all the Rx values from the time of the peak glucose concentration to 120 min.
Time to baselineDuring 2 hour period after consuming each test mealThe time for blood glucose to return to baseline was linearly interpolated between the first blood glucose concentration below fasting and the previous value; if blood glucose did not reach baseline, Bt was taken to be 120min.
