Filter by:The diabetes epidemic is a pertinent concern globally. The prevalence of this metabolic disease among adults had been disclosed by the World health Organisation (WHO), reporting a total of 422 million diabetic adults and 3.7 million diabetic deaths in 2016, with Asian countries contributing more than 60% of the world's diabetic population. Due to its economic and social repercussions, preventive strategies are implemented at a population level. The implementation of a diet low in glycaemic index (GI) has been widely adopted as part of diabetes management strategies to prevent and control Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) as the consumption of food with low GI has shown to improve glycaemic control, lipid profile, and reduce systemic inflammation. Other strategies include adopting an active lifestyle and the consumption of functional foods. In lieu of this, the composition of food products may be altered by incorporating edible plant-based functional components with carbohydrase-inhibiting properties. Black rice has been proposed as a viable source of functional ingredients, namely anthocyanins, not only because of its potential benefits to health that has been established by numerous in-vitro studies, but also it is easily sourced for in Asia as it is widely cultivated. In this study, black rice anthocyanin-fortified bread serves as a replacement to white bread as the staple to the subject's diet, in a mixed meal setting. The fortified bread is hypothesised to improve glycemic responses over white bread, offering a lower GI food alternative to the conventional staple.
A double-blind crossover randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of the AVACEN device on postprandial blood glucose. The AVACEN device creates negative pressure around the hand while heating the palm. Two sham devices, one providing heat but no vacuum and one providing neither heat nor vacuum were also used. Each subject will use each of these three devices during the first hour of a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test on separate visits. Subjects arrived in the morning following an overnight fast. Fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, tympanic temperature, and subjective thermal ratings were measured before and throughout the 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test.
In Singapore, the Ministry of Health has declared a "War on Diabetes" and major efforts will be made to develop and deploy programs to prevent diabetes. One of the cornerstones of diabetes management involves dietary modifications to reduce postprandial hyperglycaemia. However, implementation of a low GI diet is highly complex requiring the individual to choose foods from a long list which are primarily based on western consumption patterns. Many foods in the Asian diet, which largely consist of carbohydrates such as white rice, noodles and other flour based products, are not represented. An alternative solution will require innovative ways to alter commonly available food products that will not only help reduce postprandial glycaemia but also preserve the sensory characteristics of the foods to create a new generation of food products both functional and palatable. One such approach is the incorporation of plant compounds that lower the glucose absorption from foods. The aim of the project is to measure the GI of carbohydrate-based food with edible plant derived molecules. Natural, plant-derived anthocyanin will be incorporated into bread to produce low GI bread. Anthocyanins are well known for its anti-oxidant activity and recent studies reported that anthocyanins also had an inhibitory activity against digestive enzymes that break down carbohydrates. It can potentially inhibit amylase, and suppress the increase in postprandial glucose level from starch. Bread is a carbohydrate-rich product, which contains a high amount of rapidly digestible starch, and therefore many of them have a high GI. This study aims to determine the glycaemic effects of anthocyanin fortified bread. The effort is designed to enable and inform population interventions that will have an impact on the health of the population in a sustainable manner by introducing innovative foods into the food supply that are 'health promoting' based on rigorous human experiments and are acceptable to the public and other major stakeholders.
Aim of the study is to investigate the effect of two different dosages of milk peptides on postprandial blood glucose profile in prediabetic subjects compared to placebo. This will be investigated in a cross-over double blind randomized placebo controlled study design. Additionally, long term effects on glucose status, insulin sensitivity and postprandial blood glucose profile will be investigated in a follow up 6-week open label phase with the low dose only.
The amylose-amylopectin ratio influences starch properties. A higher amylose content is associated with slower starch digestion thus reducing the postprandial plasma glucose response and improving the overall postprandial metabolism. So far, limited evidence is available on the metabolic effect of wheat-based foods rich in amylose. This randomised controlled study investigated the acute metabolic effects of amylose-rich wheat-based breads in overweight subjects focusing on potential mechanisms.
It has previously been shown in healthy subjects, that a carbonated water containing a mix of amino acids and chromium picolinate can decrease postprandial blood glucose. Based on these findings, a flavored sparkling water product called Good Idea® with a proprietary blend of five amino acids and chromium picolinate has been developed. This product, along with an identical placebo, are included in this study to evaluate the effects on postprandial blood glucose in healthy, overweight adults when consumed with a standardized, high glycemic test meal. The study will be conducted in a cross-over design, double-blinded and placebo controlled, including 45 participants. The primary endpoint of the study is the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) for capillary blood glucose within 180 minutes after ingestion of the meal.
This study aims to investigate the effect of moderate intensity stair-climbing bouts of various durations on postprandial blood glucose. Participants will perform a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) using 75g of dextrose and with fingerstick blood glucose measurements at baseline and every 15 minutes after consuming the drink for one hour. On separate subsequent visits, participants will perform the same OGTT combined with three stair-climbing bouts lasting 1, 3, and 10 minutes starting 27, 25, and 18 minutes respectively after finishing the drink. Participants performed maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) using a ramp treadmill test in order to assess the relative intensity of each stairclimbing trial.
This study was a partly controlled laboratory-based study comparing the short-term postprandial blood glucose and insulin responses produced by 3 test meals containing white rice alone or with SUGARDOWN™ (Galactomannan) in overweight adults.

Consumption of polyphenol-rich fruits and vegetables may improve the postprandial glucose and insulin responses and hence promote well-being. It has previously been observed that consumption of a bilberry drink decreases the postprandial insulin demand. In the present study, the impact of probiotic fruit beverages with different polyphenol profiles on the postprandial levels of glucose and insulin, were investigated.
