Filter by:Objectives: Intraoperative glycemic stability and control among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery remains a significant concern. In this study, the intraoperative glycemic stability among diabetic patients undergoing CABG surgery was compared between patients who received an intravenous continuous insulin infusion (CII) for tight glycemic control with those who received an CII for conventional glycemic control, during the intraoperative period. Research Design and Methods: This study implemented a quasi-experimental design with a convenience sample of 144 patients with DM undergoing CABG surgery at a major hospital in Amman, Jordan.
Canada's Food Guide (2007) recommended 7-10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day for a normal adult population. Although fruit juice (125 ml) is considered as one serving of fruits, the consumption of some fruit juices may be limited due to their high amount of sugar. The consumption of sugary drinks can lead to a rapid rise in postprandial glycaemia. Wild blueberries, due to their high level of anthocyanins, may provide multiple health benefits including improved blood glucose control, however, the consumption of fresh berries is limited by their short seasonal availability. Hydro-Thermodynamic (HTD) processing of blueberries allows the processing of whole berries including their skin and seeds into a beverage with the amount of anthocyanins comparable with fresh berries. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of HTD-processed blueberries on postprandial glycaemia and antioxidant activity.
Pulse flours represent a fast-growing segment on the functional food market; however, their health effects are not well understood. The observational studies and acute trials have established the link between frequent consumption of cooked whole pulses (beans, peas, lentils and chickpeas) and healthier body weight and improved blood glucose control. However, it is not clear whether these effects still remain after the processing of pulses into flours. The investigators hypothesized that the baked food products formulated with lentil flour of the same particle size as all-purpose wheat flour may reduce postprandial glycaemia and elicit a stronger suppression of subjective appetite due to its higher content of protein and resistant carbohydrate compared to all-purpose wheat flour. The treatments will be formulated either with lentil flour or with all-purpose wheat flour of similar particle size or with their combination. The objective of the project is to test the effect of foods formulated with lentil flour and/or wheat flour on blood glucose, short-term food intake and subjective appetite.
The trial will use a two period acute double-blind cross-over design to compare the effects of a serving of oatmeal containing high or low amounts of avenanthramides (AV) on post-prandial blood glucose response in healthy adults.
Randomized, balanced, incomplete block design exploratory study of efficacy, with 8 active treatments (4 treatments per subject; 35 or 37 subjects per treatment) compared to a reference treatment (all 72 subjects).
Randomized, balanced incomplete block design dose response study of efficacy, with 4 different dosages of mulberry fruit powdered extract added to cooked rice compared to a reference treatment (cooked rice only).
This research examines whether biofeedback of glucose (i.e., knowledge of one's own glucose levels) in non-diabetic participants affects their health behaviours (e.g., eating, nutrition, exercise, etc.). This study utilizes wearable continuous glucose (CGM) technology, which provides personalized feedback to participants to allow them to self-monitor their own glucose levels.
The researchers' implement and measure the effects of a singing group intervention program for older adults, with an RCT design, in a natural context, on the health, well-being and cognitive function of older adults.
The effects of dairy-free products consumed with a breakfast meal on food intake and glycaemic regulation remain unexplored. It is known that dairy products are an excellent source of protein, low glycaemic sugar lactose, calcium, and vitamin D. In our recent study the consumption of a dairy snack with high protein content resulted in reduced blood glucose response compared to non-dairy snack with the similar amount of available carbohydrate. The investigators hypothesize that the ad libitum intake of breakfast cereals served with a high-protein fermented dairy product will result in reduced and sustained blood glucose response compared to non-dairy control. The objective of this study is to investigate how dairy and non-dairy cultured products used as carriers for breakfast granola cereals and consumed ad libitum affect short-term food intake, satiety, and glycaemia within two hours.
This randomized, crossover study will include four clinic visits: one screening (day -7) and three test visits (days 0, 2, 4). The objective of this study is to assess the effects of dietary fiber-containing bars, at two doses of fiber, compared to a control product, on postprandial glucose and insulin responses in healthy adult men and women.
