* BACKGROUND: Individuals with diabetes report innate preference for sweet foods, possibly due to genetic variants. In addition, studies have shown that ingestion of fructose promotes lower postprandial blood glucose, compared to glucose. However, excessive intake may increase triglycerides, uric acid and oxidative stress, due to oxidative priority. * AIMS: To investigate the influence of fructose and glucose and taste receptor, type 1, member 2 (TAS1R2) in glucose, triglycerides, uremia, oxidative stress, feelings related to food intake and palatability of individuals with type 1 diabetes. * METHODS: The trial is a single-blind, two-way crossover (1-week washout) study in 30 subjects with type 1 diabetes. Blood samples were collected before and 2-hours after the participants receive 75g of fructose or 75g of glucose dissolved in 200 ml water. Capillary blood glucose were assessed at 30, 90, 120, and 180 minutes to determine glucose, and visual analogue scales for measurement of appetite sensation were assessed at 70, 120, and 190 minutes. * PURPOSE: The research proposal adds knowledge about the TAS1R2 (Ile191Val) polymorphism and around the most suitable monosaccharide for individuals with diabetes type 1.
