Abstract
Objective
To compare the glycaemic responses and load of Fumman® orange juice with other juice
products in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Nigeria.
Methods
A cross-sectional case-controlled study was carried out. Ten subjects with well-controlled type
2 diabetes mellitus (HbA1c< 7%) on oral agents, with age and sex-matched controls, were
recruited for the study. Subjects and controls had a food tolerance test with Fumman’® juice,
fresh orange juice, and another commercial juice. Glycaemic responses were assessed in all
study subjects using incremental glucose, incremental area under the glucose curve, and peak
plasma glucose.
Results
Fumman® juice had a significantly lower Incremental Glucose in Diabetes subjects than
Commercial Juice (p = 0.026), had the lowest mean incremental area under the glucose curve
which was significantly lower than commercial juice (p=0.02), but not significantly lower
than natural juice. Fumman® also had the lowest peak plasma glucose levels, which were
significantly lower than commercial juice (p=0.025).
Conclusion
The glycaemic responses of Fumman® orange juice as observed in diabetes subjects are
significantly lower than that of the commercial juice
