This study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic index (GI) of various types of jaggery by measuring their effect on blood glucose levels in healthy individuals. Using glucose as the reference standard , the objective is to determine how different jaggery types influence postprandial blood sugar response.

Using glucose as the reference standard , the objective is to determine how different jaggery types influence postprandial blood sugar response. The findings will help identify which types of jaggery have lower glycemic impact, contributing to better dietary choices for glycemic control.

Glycemic Index (GI) of Different Types of Jaggery
The incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (iAUC) over 2 hours after consumption of each type of jaggery, expressed as a percentage of the glucose reference.
Time frame: Measured at multiple time points post-consumption (e.g., 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes) during each test session.
Postprandial Blood Glucose Response Curve
Blood glucose levels at each time point following consumption of jaggery types and glucose, to assess the shape and peak of glycemic response.
Time frame: Same as primary outcome (0-120 minutes).
