Utilizing Glycaemic Index: An Investigation of the Glycaemic Profiles and Cognitive Performance Displayed by Type 2 Diabetics Across the Course of a Day in Low and High Glycaemic Conditions
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low Glycaemic Diet and High Glycaemic Diet for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Cognitive Impairment. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The current study aims to investigate the effects of two GI diets (low vs. high GI) in a sample (25 participants) that has diet controlled type 2 diabetes. This sample has been chosen as those with diabetes have been shown to suffer with poor glucose tolerance, along with the associated deficits such as compromised cognitive function. Therefore, it is expected that differences produced by the two diets on blood glucose concentrations and cognitive performance will be greater than those previously seen. If this is the case after analyzing the results, it will provide a potential strategy (diet) for improving glucose tolerance and cognitive performance in a vulnerable section of the population.
