Glycemic/Insulinemic Effects of Fresh Mango as a Sugar Substitute in Realistic Breakfasts. (NCT07045051)

Effects of Fresh Mango as a Sugar Substitute Within High and Low Glycemic Breakfasts on Postprandial Glucose and Insulin

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Ball State University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Large blood sugar and insulin increases after meals high in table sugar are related to risk for diabetes and heart disease. Additionally, large increases in blood sugar may also negatively impact vascular health. Previous research suggests that mango consumed in small quantities has blood sugar-lowering properties, but the evidence of this within larger, more realistic meals is limited. The investigators want to understand if replacing table sugar (sucrose) with sugar from fresh mango (which also contains fiber and plant bioactives) will lead to more favorable blood sugar, insulin, and vascular responses after eating breakfast meals. The investigators will compare the postprandial glycemic, insulinemic, and vascular response to low and high glycemic meals sweetened with either fresh mango or sucrose.
