Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load
Conditions
Keywords
Glycemic index, posprandial glucose response, glycemic load
Brief summary
This randomized trial aims to assess the glycemic index (GI) of locally available mango varieties in healthy adult participants, using glucose as the reference food. The study will evaluate the postprandial blood glucose response elicited by selected mango varieties and compare it to the response produced by a standard glucose . The objective is to determine whether certain mango varieties have a lower glycemic impact, which may be relevant for dietary planning and public health recommendations.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Glycemic Index (GI) of Mango Varieties | 0 to 120 minutes after consumption of test food | Glycemic index will be calculated for each mango variety by measuring the postprandial blood glucose response over 120 minutes and comparing the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) to that of a standard glucose reference. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Peak Blood Glucose Level | 0 to 120 minutes after consumption | Maximum capillary blood glucose concentration observed after consumption of each test food. |
