The Effect of Snacks on Glycaemic Regulation in Children

Dairy products have a potential to be healthy snack foods for children. The purpose of this project is to investigate the short-term effects of Greek yogurt, a new popular dairy product on the regulation of glucose homeostasis, satiety and energy intake in normal weight and overweight/obese children.

Primary outcomes

  1. blood glucose

    Time frame: 120 min

    concentration of blood glucose

  2. insulin

    Time frame: 120 min

    concentration of circulating insulin

  3. C-peptide

    Time frame: 120 min

    concentration of circulating C-peptide

Secondary outcomes

  1. Food intake (grams and kcal)

    Time frame: 120 min

    ad libitum food intake at 120 min measured with a test meal (grams consumed converted to kilocalories).

  2. Subjective appetite

    Time frame: 0-120 min

    Four patterns of subjective appetite were measured using 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS): desire to eat, hunger, fullness, and prospective food consumption at 0 min (immediately before the snack), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and immediately before the test meal at 120 min. The average appetite was calculated.
