Brief summary
This study investigated the effects of Greek traditional meals in dehydrated form consumed after reconstitution with water on glycemic responses
Detailed description
This study aimed at 1. to determined the glycemic index and glycemic load of three mixed meals and 2. to investigate the effects of these mixed meals on postprandial glycemic response in healthy subjects
Interventions
Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 7, female:7) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g glucose diluted in 250ml water, tested three times, in different weeks, within 5-10min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were takenat baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.
OTHERLentils and lupins mixed meal
Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 7, female:7) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from lentils and lupins mixed meal along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were takenat baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.
OTHERTrahanas with tomato sauce mixed meal
Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 7, female:7) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from trahanas with tomato sauce mixed meal along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were takenat baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.
OTHERHalva with currants mixed meal
Twelve healthy, normal weight subjects (male: 7, female:7) after 10-14 hr fast, consumed 25g available carbohydrates from halva with currants mixed meal along with 250ml water, tested once, in different weeks, within 10-15min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were takenat baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Capillary blood glucose responses | 2 hours | Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Subjective appetite ratings | 2 hours | Useful change in subjective appetite using visual analogue scales with a score 0 to 10 (given in the form of booklet, one scale per page) at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min. The minimum or maximum score will be evaluated if it is better or worse depending on the appetite variable e.g hunger, satiety, desire to eat etc. |
| Blood pressure | 2 hours | Useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and 2hr after consumption of three mixed meals |
