Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g glucose diluted in 300ml water, tested two times, in different visits, within 5-10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from white bread, along with 300ml water, tested two times, in different visits, within 10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.
Fourteen healthy, normal weight subjects after 10-14 hours fast, consumed 50g available carbohydrates from regular spaghetti No 7, along with 300ml water, tested once, within 10 min. Fingertip capillary blood glucose samples were taken at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 min.

Capillary blood glucose responses
Clinically useful change in blood glucose, defined as the restoration of glucose within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test
Time frame: 2 hours
Salivary insulin responses
Clinically useful change in salivary insulin, defined as the restoration of insulin within normal limits during the 2hr glucose tolerance test
Time frame: 2 hours
Subjective appetite ratings
Useful change in subjective appetite using visual analogue scales with a score 0 to 10 (given in the form of booklet, one scale per page) at baseline, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120min. The minimum or maximum score will be evaluated if it is better or worse depending on the appetite variable e.g. hunger, satiety, desire to eat etc
Time frame: 2 hours
Blood pressure
Useful change in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and 2hr after consumption of the spaghetti products
Time frame: 2 hours
