Abstract

The glycaemic index (GI) and triglyceride response was determined in 20 non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus subjects who were given a 50 g carbohydrate portion of the test meal ‘khichadi’ (a steam cooked savoury preparation) made out of the cereal-pulse mix containing wheat grits, soyabean, guar seeds, fenugreek seeds, green gram whole, red gram dhal, lentil and black gram dhal. The mean GI value for the test meal is 42.72. Compared with the blood glucose response for a 50 g glucose load, the test meal elicited significantly lower responses at 1 h and 2 h intervals. The test meal also showed a lower triglyceride response.
