Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic index (GI) of various types of jaggery by measuring their effect on blood glucose levels in healthy individuals. Using glucose as the reference standard , the objective is to determine how different jaggery types influence postprandial blood sugar response.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic index (GI) of various types of jaggery by measuring their effect on blood glucose levels in healthy individuals. Using glucose as the reference standard , the objective is to determine how different jaggery types influence postprandial blood sugar response. The findings will help identify which types of jaggery have lower glycemic impact, contributing to better dietary choices for glycemic control.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Single group (cross over)

Participants will receive all test interventions (2 different varieties of jaggery and a glucose reference) in a randomized sequence with appropriate washout periods between each session. Blood glucose levels will be measured after each test food to determine and compare glycemic index values.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Golden sugarcane jaggery

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will consume a standardized portion of jaggery Type A providing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose will be measured over a 2-hour postprandial period.

Dark brown sugarcane jaggery

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants will consume a standardized portion of jaggery Type B providing 50 grams of available carbohydrates. Capillary blood glucose will be measured over a 2-hour postprandial period.
