NCT02006836

Brief Summary

Food intake has a great influence on blood glucose of patients with diabetes. This study was designed to determine the glycemic index (GI) of a particular pomelo named Majia pomelo and its effects on postprandial glucose (PPG) excursions in both healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Glycemic Index

    Glycemic index (GI) measurement was carried out after an overnight fast on 2 occasions in every subject, each test being separated from the next by a "washout" day.The first test day utilized 50 g of glucose dissolved in 200 ml water followed sequentially by 50g carbohydrate equivalents of the Majia pomelos. Venous blood samples were collected and monitored during 3 hrs for both the healthy and T2DM individuals at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 min. Areas under the curves (AUC) of blood glucose concentrations were obtained. The 50 g of glucose was used as the reference (GI = 100) according to the literature. The AUC under the incremental glycemic-response curves for Majia were expressed as a percentage of the areas under the glucose curves for the same subject. The resulting values for all subjects were averaged to calculate the GI. GI measurement is only calculated in case-control period.

    3 days

  • ∆g of Breakfast With/Without Pomelo

    After the dose of CSII for each patients were adjusted on the first 3 test days to optimize glucose control, there were 3-day CSII treatment without change of insulin dose. Capillary blood samples were detected before and after meals. Glucose difference (∆g) before and after breakfast were obtained and analyzed. * g of breasfast without pomelo=mean of 3 days of postprandial blood glucose after breakfast - mean of 3 days of blood glucose before this breakfast. * g of breasfast with pomelo=mean of 3 days of postprandial blood glucose after breakfast - mean of 3 days of blood glucose before this breakfast.

    9 days

  • ∆g of Lunch With/Without Pomelo

    After the dose of CSII for each patients were adjusted on the first 3 test days to optimize glucose control, there were 3-day CSII treatment without change of insulin dose. Capillary blood samples were detected before and after meals. Glucose difference (∆g) before and after lunch were obtained and analyzed. * g of lunch without pomelo=mean of 3 days of postprandial blood glucose after lunch without pomelo - mean of 3 days of blood glucose before this lunch. * g of lunch with pomelo=mean of 3 days of postprandial blood glucose after lunch with pomelo- mean of 3 days of blood glucose before this lunch.

    9 days

  • ∆g of Dinner With/Without Pomelo

    After the dose of CSII for each patients were adjusted on the first 3 test days to optimize glucose control, there were 3-day CSII treatment without change of insulin dose. Capillary blood samples were detected before and after meals. Glucose difference (∆g) before and after dinner were obtained and analyzed. * g of dinner without pomelo=mean of 3 days of postprandial blood glucose after dinner without pomelo - mean of 3 days of blood glucose before this dinner. * g of dinner with pomelo=mean of 3 days of postprandial blood glucose after dinner with pomelo - mean of 3 days of blood glucose before this dinner.

    9 days

  • AUCs With/Without Pomelo

    Patients of Diabetic 2 group were on CSII treatment with insulin subcutaneous pump.The scheme and dose of CSII for each patients were adjusted on the first 3 test days to optimize glucose control, followed by 3-day CSII treatment without change of insulin dose. On the 7th test day, patients consumed 100g Majia pomelos after meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) for 3 test days. Capillary blood samples were detected before and after meals, 10pm, and 3am. Mean of each time point(before breakfast, 2 hours after breakfast, before lunch, 2 hours after lunch, before dinner, 2 hours after dinner,10pm, and 3am ) of blood glucose concentrations on 4th to 6th day(without pomelo) were calculated and so as each time point of blood glucose concentrations on 7th to 9th day (with pomelo). Areas under the curves (AUC) of mean blood glucose concentrations of each time point were obtained with/without pomelo.

OTHER

Diabetic patients use metformin or only on diet control(met or diet).18 of the patients were on metformin treatment and 2 patients were on diet control due to the early stage of this disease. On the first test day we utilized 50 g of glucose dissolved in 200 ml water. The second day was washout day. On the third day we used 922 g of Majia pomelos which contained 50 g carbohydrate.This group of diabetic patients enrolled for the case control period.

Patients who were included in the test of glycemic responses to postprandial pomelo consumption were hospitalized with the treatment of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion(CSII), and the insulin for CSII was insulin aspart(NovoRapid).
