Brief summary

The study will evaluate postprandial glucose excursions and gut hormone secretion after ingestion of meals with different glycaemic index (GI) values (high vs low) followed by an acute bout of exercise or rest in gastric bypass operated subjects and matched control subjects.

Interventions

OTHERLow GI mealtest

Meal with low glycaemic index (GI) is consumed over 20 min

OTHERLow GI mealtest and subsequent exercise

Meal with low glycaemic index (GI) is consumed over 20 min and the subject postprandially exercises for 30 min

OTHERHigh GI mealtest

Meal with high glycaemic index (GI) is consumed over 20 min

OTHERHigh GI mealtest and subsequent exercise

Meal with high glycaemic index (GI) is consumed over 20 min and the subject postprandially exercises for 30 min
