Glycemic Response to Different Food Combinations
Investigation of the Impact of Food Combination Strategies on Postprandial Blood Glucose Responses
Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Low pH foods can attenuate the glycemic response to starch-rich foods. It has been demonstrated that lemon juice, due to its low pH (pH≈2.3) inhibited key digestive enzymes thereby interrupting gastric digestion of starch in vitro. This effect can significantly reduce the glycemic response in humans. In particular, adding lemon juice to a starch rich meal reduced the mean blood glucose concentration peak by 30%.
Considering the panoply of food options available, it is likely that other combinations have similar effects but no work has been conducted to develop a consolidated knowledge base to exploit this strategy. GlucoMatchMaker will go beyond the state-of-the art by addressing this knowledge gap. The main goal is to develop and test the real-life impact of pH-based food combination strategies on glycemic responses.

EXPERIMENTAL: Dietary intervention
Dietary intervention using standardized test meals
|
Interventional dietary study using standardized test meals and personalized food baskets to investigate the impact of food combination on the glycemic response. The study period is organized as follows: (Day 1: Continuous blood glucose monitoring system (CGM) activation) Days 2 and 3: Two standardized daily menus (breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner) provided on a randomized crossover basis. Days 4 to 7: four standardized test meals, participants will be asked to substitute one meal each day (lunch or dinner) for a test meal according to a pre-defined randomization plan. Days 8 to 10: Participants will be asked to prepare all meals using a food basket containing a mix of standardized and personal preference items. Days 11 to 13: Participants will be asked to prepare all meals using a food basket containing a mix of standardized and personal preference items and following dietary recommendations developed by the study staff. (Day 14: CGM sensor removed) |
