Glycemic Responses to Majia Pomelos in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

The sugar content of the pomelo was 5.86% of full weight, and we use 922g Majia pomelos which contained about 50g sugar equal to 50g glucose for GI measurement.

We dissolved 50 g of glucose in 200 ml water.

For the self-control period the diabetic patients underwent 3-day CSII treatment without change of insulin dose and we did not applied any intervention.

Patients who were included in the test of glycemic responses to postprandial pomelo consumption were hospitalized with the treatment of Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion(CSII), and the insulin for CSII was insulin aspart(NovoRapid).

In diabetic group, 20 diabetic patients were included for GI measurement , 18 of whom were on metformin treatment. Only 2 patients were on diet control due to the early stage of this disease.
