Abstract

To see whether relative differences in the glycemic responses to different foods were similar in insulin-dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent diabetic patients (NIDDM) we determined the glycemic index (GI) of a total of 20 foods and mixed test meals in groups of IDDM and NIDDM volunteers. The mean GI values ranged from 32 in NIDDM and 41 in IDDM (pearled barley) to 105 in NIDDM and 111 in IDDM (bread with cheese and tomato). The correlation between the mean GI values in IDDM and NIDDM was highly significant (r = 0.927, p less than 0.001). The mean GI values for 15 of the 20 test meals was greater in IDDM than in NIDDM (mean of GI for all 20 foods, 76 in IDDM compared with 68 in NIDDM, p less than 0.005). However, the difference in GI between IDDM and NIDDM was t statistically significant for 19 of the 20 individual test meals. Greater within-individual variability of glycemic responses in IDDM probably accounts for the slightly greater mean GI value seen in IDDM compared with NIDDM. The addition of 32 g cheddar cheese to four foods which were also fed without cheese had no significant effect on the GI in NIDDM (mean GI of 68 without cheese compared with 72 for the meals with cheese), but had a small effect in IDDM where the mean GI was increased from 72 to 87 (p less than 0.05). However, despite small increases in glycemic response to foods with added cheese, the relative differences between foods were unaffected by the addition of cheese in both IDDM and NIDDM. It is concluded that mean GI values for foods are very similar in IDDM and NIDDM patients.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Subject characteristics including normal versus diabetic status, type 2 versus type 1 diabetes, oral agents versus insulin, good versus poor metabolic control, children versus adults with type 1 diabetes, rural African versus Western subjects, and glucose tolerance status and BMI have no significant effect on mean glycaemic index values.

    “Subject characteristics that have been examined specifically and were found to have no significant effect on mean GI include: normal v. diabetic subjects (Jenkins et al. 1983); individuals with type 2 diabetes v. individuals with type 1 diabetes (Wolever et al. 1987;Livesey, 2002);”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
