“…This was done to eliminate inter-subject variability, which is a common confounder identified from previous research work. 20,21 The essence of ensuring the bean meals were administered on a weekly basis was to prevent second-meal effect on the glycaemic responses. 22,23 The bean meals were devoid of added ingredients in order to prevent the effect of unwanted extra carbohydrate from altering the Table 3: Glycaemic response of study participants.…”

Background: Beans are recommended for their richness and for their salutary effect on blood glucose. Inter-species differences impact on blood glucose. What appeared unknown is whether varieties of beans of the same species (Vigna unguiculata [Linn] Walp) have differential effects on blood glucose when equal amounts are consumed. Objective: To perform proximate analysis and compare the glycaemic indices on consumption of Vigna unguiculata (Linn) Walp species. Setting and subjects: This was an experimental study and subjects consisted of 12 healthy consenting participants at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) in Lagos, Nigeria. Outcome measure: Fibre contents and the glycaemic indices of Vigna unguiculata (Linn) Walp varieties 'oloyin' , 'drum' and 'Sokoto' white. Results: The mean (±SD) crude fibre content of Vigna unguiculata (Linn) Walp varieties 'oloyin', 'drum' and 'Sokoto white' are 2.75% (± 0.00), 2.64% (± 0.14) and 2.94% (± 0.17) respectively. The median (95% CI) glycaemic index (GI) of Vigna unguiculata (Linn) Walp variety 'oloyin' was 12.10% (6.0-16.31), variety 'drum' 17.64% (9.22-48.93) and variety 'Sokoto white' 12.04% (5.54-28.94) respectively. The GI of the bean meals differed significantly (Friedman's test, χ 2 (2) = 6.500, p = 0.039). Conclusion:The fibre content of intra-species beans, together with their GI, differs. 'Drum' bean meal has the lowest fibre content and highest glycaemic response. 'Oloyin' and 'Sokoto white' bean meals are recommended for persons with DM as some beans are more diabetic friendly than others.

“…As a result, pineapple had a high GI and papaya had an intermediary GI, whereas watermelon and durian fruit were foods with a low GI. The AUC mean values in mmol.L -1 .min -1 of pineapple (62.6±10.5) and papaya (63.9±14.1) were almost identical among healthy subjects in another study; however, papaya GI (86±26.8) was high, while the one of pineapple (64.5±11.3) was moderate (23). Among the subjects with diabetes, AUC mean values expressed in mmol.L -1 .min -1 appeared as follows: pineapple (115.3±33.2), mango (101.6±28.7), and papaya (124.1±46.1); there was no significant difference between the GIs of those fruits; and the tested fruits had low GIs (24).…”

“…A study conducted in Malaysia on the GI of durian fruit, papaya, pineapple, and watermelon has shown an increase in blood glucose level over time, reaching its peak 30 minutes after the consumption of each of the four fruits, and then gradually declining till T120 minutes (22). On the contrary, a Nigerian study on ten healthy subjects has indicated that pineapple consumption causes a glycemic peak at T60 minutes, whereas papaya's glycemic peak comes earlier in T45 minutes (23). Among subjects with type 2 diabetes, pineapple peaks in 30 minutes, while banana, orange, mango and papaya peak in 60 minutes, after ingestion by measuring blood glucose levels every 30 minutes over a period of two hours (24).…”

Background: Daily consumption of fruits is recommended due to their positive impact on the control of glycemia, cholesterol and coronary heart disease. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the glycemic index and glycemic load (GL) of four local fruits grown in Benin, namely papaya, pineapple, watermelon and grafted mango, among apparently healthy young adult subjects. Methods: This research work, being an interventional study of quasi-experimental category, involved 33 voluntary adult subjects (mean age: 23.4±1.9 years; mean body mass index: 21.38±1.89 kg/m2 ) distributed into 4 groups. The subjects of each group consumed the reference food (25 g of glucose or 50 g of white bread) twice a week with an interval of one week, and then a serving equivalent to 25 g of carbohydrates of each tested fruit in the morning after a 12-hour fasting on the evening. Plasma glucose was measured at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after food ingestion. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA, SPSS, 26). The P < 0.05 was regarded as the significance level. Results: The incremental area under the curve mean value in mmol.L-1.min-1 of pineapple (89.21±21.75) was higher (P <0.001) than those of mango (34.71±13.62), papaya (23.46±15.06) and watermelon (20.30±16.47). The mean glycemic index of mango (117.09±58.32) was significantly higher (P =0.007) than the ones of pineapple (52.97±29.87), papaya (46.77±45.77), and watermelon (41.04±34.06). The mean GL of mango (16.28±8.11) was significantly more elevated (P =0.001) than the ones of papaya (3.41±3.34), pineapple (6.36±3.58), and watermelon (2.54±2.11). Conclusion: Watermelon, papaya and pineapple may therefore be recommended for safe consumption in accordance with dietary guidelines.

“…The GIs of these tropical fresh fruits varied from 86% for pawpaw to 72% for watermelon, 62% for banana, 40% for orange, and 39% for apple. [1415] Hence, these results indicate the need to wash hand thoroughly with tap water and drying them after peeling or handling fruits. This should be recommended to patients and HCPs to ensure accurate monitoring of BG levels when using blood samples obtained by pricking the fingertip.…”

Background:Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important component of management for diabetes mellitus (DM), especially in T1DM and T2DM patients who are on insulin therapy. Adequate blood glucose monitoring and prompt intervention are necessary to prevent blood glucose (BG) fluctuation and delay long-term diabetes complications. People with DM are advised to clean their hands before SMBG to remove any dirt or food residue that might affect the reading.Aim:The study tested the hypothesis that falsely elevated BG levels from fingertip occur after peeling or handling fruits in an unwashed hand.Methods:Fifty apparently healthy nondiabetes volunteers were enrolled. Capillary BG samples were collected from the fingertips after peeling or handling apple, orange, banana, watermelon, and pawpaw, followed by no hand washing for 1 h, cleaning the fingertip with alcohol swab once, five times, and washing hand thoroughly with tap water and drying. These samples were then analyzed with two different glucose meters.Results:The mean BG values, measured from fingertip blood samples after peeling, and handling any of the fruits followed by no hand washing were significantly high, even after cleaning fingertip with a swab of alcohol once. However, there were no significant difference in BG levels measured after peeling and handling fruits followed by hand washing and the level of BG before peeling and handling fruits.Conclusion:Handling of peeled fruits with no hand washing with tap water is associated with overestimation of capillary BG (Pseudohyperglycemia) monitored with glucose meters.

Postprandial glucose response to selected tropical fruits in normal glucose-tolerant Nigerians

Abstract: Banana, pawpaw, and pineapple produced a similar postprandial glucose response. Measured portions of these fruits may be used as fruit exchanges with pineapple having the most favorable glycemic response.
