Glycemic Response to High Amylose Rice

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Treatment (Pilot Study)

In brief

Certain types of rice have more dietary fiber than others. This type of rice is known a "high amylose rice." This study hypothesizes that high-amylose rice, will decrease blood glucose and insulin responses after consumption compared to conventional rice in healthy adults, ages 18-40. Eighteen healthy men and women will participate in this study. This study will determine how high blood glucose and insulin values rise after eating a portion of rice. This study will also evaluate hunger ratings after consuming rice. The results of this study will help researchers better understand how diet can influence diabetes management.
