The objective of this study is to assess the effect that dietary carbohydrates have on blood sugar by measuring the glycaemic index. The glycaemic index is a comparison between the effect of equal amounts of carbohydrate from a test food compared to a standard (in this case glucose) on blood sugar. Different foods that contain different carbohydrates have different effects on blood sugars. This is of interest as a number of studies have shown that the level of sugar in the blood after a meal relates directly to the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. The aim of collecting this data is to be able to give advice to people about the carbohydrates they eat to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
