STUDY SUMMARY This study was a partly controlled laboratory-based study comparing the short-term postprandial blood glucose and insulin responses produced by three test meals containing white rice alone or with SUGARDOWN™ (Galactomannan) in overweight adults. In the study, subjects were their own controls. Effects of the two test meals containing SUGARDOWN™ were compared to the effects produced by test meals containing an equal-carbohydrate portion of white rice alone (the control meal). The study used a repeated-measures design, such that every subject consumed each meal on two separate occasions, completing a total of six separate test sessions. Each subject completed their test sessions on separate weekday mornings at a similar time of day, as close as possible to the time they would normally eat breakfast.

SUBJECTS Ten healthy, non-smoking, overweight or obese subjects (4 females, 6 males) voluntarily participated in this study. The mean ± SD age of the subjects was 29.2 ± 3.3 yr (range: 25.6 - 36.8 yr), and their mean ± SD body mass index value was 27.3 ± 1.1 kg/m2 (range: 25.5 - 28.7 kg/m2).

Volunteers were given detailed written and verbal information about all of the study's inclusion criteria and experimental procedures. If the volunteers decided that they would like to participate in the study, they were asked to come to the research centre on another morning, where they completed a detailed screening questionnaire that assessed their current health status and medical history. In order to participate in the study, the volunteers had to meet the inclusion criteria listed below. All suitable volunteers that were invited to participate in the study were required to sign a detailed subject information sheet and a consent form before commencing any experimental procedures.
