Postprandial Glucose Response Using Mass-Market No-Added-Sugar Ice Cream

Overview

KDD is developing a new line of no-added-sugar products in line with its metabolic reengineering initiative and its metabolic matrix. The recipes fundamentally do not alter total saturated fat or protein levels and mainly offer the benefit of no added sugar and a significant reduction in net carbohydrates as well glycaemic index.

The consumption of highly ultra-processed foods has been identified as having detrimental effects on human metabolic health, leading to various adverse health outcomes. The Metabolic Matrix represents a highly quantified, science-based tool for reengineering products with the aim of promoting positive metabolic outcomes. This approach may also contribute to creating shared value by solving important social problems such as obesity and type 2 diabetes by scalable products that are profitable. KDD is committed to addressing the pandemic of metabolic diseases in Kuwait and would like to develop products that benefit the collective metabolic health of the Kuwait population. KDD is working with partners to assist in its ground-breaking work and to support its efforts with a strong evidence-base rooted in leading-edge science in metabolic health and nutrition. We hypothesise that no-added sugar-flavored ice cream have a substantially different postprandial glycaemic response compared to conventional products in patients with type 2 diabetes.
