Effect of Varying Amounts of β-glucan and Sucrose in Oatmeal on Glycemic Response

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of serving size and the addition of sugar on the glycemic response elicited by oatmeal compared to that elicited by cream of rice cereal.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Incremental area under the blood glucose response curve
Time Frame: For 2 hours after consuming each test meal
For 2 hours after consuming each test meal

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Peak rise of blood glucose
Time Frame: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
The highest concentration of blood glucose achieved after eating minus the fasting blood glucose.
During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
Time to peak
Time Frame: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
The time at which the peak rise of blood glucose occured.
During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
Mean rate of decline in blood glucose
Time Frame: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
The rate of change in blood glucose between consecutive time points (Tx and T(x+1)) was calculated as: Rx = (Gx G(x+1))/(Tx-T(x+1)), where G(x+1) and Gx were the glucose concentrations at times T(x+1) and Tx, respectively. The mean rate of decline in blood glucose (Mean RD) was calculated as the weighted average of all the Rx values from the time of the peak glucose concentration to 120 min, with the weight based on the length of the time interval.
During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
Maximum rate of decline in blood glucose
Time Frame: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
The rate of change in blood glucose between consecutive time points (Tx and T(x+1)) was calculated as: Rx = (Gx G(x+1))/(Tx-T(x+1)), where G(x+1) and Gx were the glucose concentrations at times T(x+1) and Tx, respectively. . The maximum rate in blood glucose decline (Max RD) was calculated as the maximum of all the Rx values from the time of the peak glucose concentration to 120 min.
During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
Time to baseline
Time Frame: During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
The time for blood glucose to return to baseline was linearly interpolated between the first blood glucose concentration below fasting and the previous value; if blood glucose did not reach baseline, Bt was taken to be 120min.
During 2 hour period after consuming each test meal
