The Effect of Snacks on Glycaemic Regulation in Children

January 21, 2019 updated by: Mount Saint Vincent University

The Effect of Dairy and Non-Dairy Products on Blood Glucose Regulation in Children

Dairy products have a potential to be healthy snack foods for children. The purpose of this project is to investigate the short-term effects of Greek yogurt, a new popular dairy product on the regulation of glucose homeostasis, satiety and energy intake in normal weight and overweight/obese children.

120 min
insulin
Time Frame: 120 min
concentration of circulating insulin
120 min
C-peptide

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Food intake (grams and kcal)
Time Frame: 120 min
ad libitum food intake at 120 min measured with a test meal (grams consumed converted to kilocalories).
120 min
Subjective appetite
Time Frame: 0-120 min
Four patterns of subjective appetite were measured using 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS): desire to eat, hunger, fullness, and prospective food consumption at 0 min (immediately before the snack), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and immediately before the test meal at 120 min. The average appetite was calculated.
