  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine by how much, the ingestion of palm sugar increases blood glucose concentrations and what the corresponding glycaemic index is. The investigators estimate that the glycaemic index will be 68 (equal to that of sucrose).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Blood glucose concentrations [ Time Frame: 2 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    During the labratory visits subjects will ingest glucose (control), sucrose or palm sugar. At time points 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes post ingestion blood glucose concentrations will be measured by finger prick blood samples.

Primary Completion Date: January 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: glucose Other: Glucose
50 g glucose given orally 3 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
Active Comparator: sucrose Other: Sucrose
50 g sucrose given orally 1 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
Other Names:
  • sugar
  • table sugar
Experimental: palm sugar Other: Arenga Pinnata Sugar
50 g palm sugar given orally 1 time in 250 ml of water. Blood glucose measurements will then be taken at time points, 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes.
Other Name: palm sugar
