Sponsor

Universitat de Lleida

Enrollment

15 participants

Start Date

Apr 15, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Glucose Metabolism Disorders

Summary

The glycemic index is the ability of carbohydrates in foods to induce increases in blood glucose levels after consuming them. Based on the capacity for increasing blood glucose levels, foods can be classified as having a low, medium, or high glycemic index. This property is of interest in health and nutrition because it allows estimating the impact the food will have on postprandial glycemia, which may able better food selection in situations where adequate glycemic control is required, such as in individuals diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. The objective of this study is to determine the glycemic index of 9 formulations of complete oral nutrition supplements and classify them based on their glycemic response.
