Glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) of pieces of bread were determined. A mixture plan design was used to determine the optimal formulation of bread made of yam flour, wheat flour and moringa powder. The mixture of 79.4% soft wheat flour, 20% yam flour and 0.6% moringa leaves powder has a good potential in bread preparation and was used in this study. 100% wheat bread was used as control. Postprandial blood glucose response (glycemic response) was evaluated with the glucose used as a reference food. Blood glucose responses were measured at different intervals for 2 hours. The results indicated that composite bread had low GI and GL values than wheat bread. Values are GI = 80 and GL = 61.2 for wheat bread and GI = 37.78 and GL = 29.65 for the composite bread. This study demonstrated that the inclusion of yam flour of moringa leaves powder in bread production might not pose a threat to blood glucose response compared to wheat bread. These pieces of bread could be included easily in diabetics’ and non-diabetics diet.展开更多

文摘目的探讨血糖负荷饮食疗法在非胰岛素治疗的2型糖尿病患者中的应用效果。方法 2型糖尿病124例按照随机数字表分为食物交换份组62例,血糖负荷(glycemic load,GL)饮食组62例,进行为期3个月的饮食干预,观察两组患者的空腹血糖(FPG)、餐后2 h血糖(2 h PBG)、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)、体质指数(BMI)以及饮食知识问卷在干预前后的变化。结果 3个月饮食干预后,血糖负荷组患者的FPG、2 h PBG、HbA1c明显低于食物交换份组(P<0.05),两组BMI比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。饮食知识问卷表明血糖负荷饮食组在饮食计算方法和合理选择食物方面明显优于食物交换份组(P<0.05)。结论血糖负荷饮食疗法与食物交换份法相比能更好地促进非胰岛素治疗的2型糖尿病患者的血糖控制。
