The influence of ethnicity, body composition and food components on glycaemic response/index
The concept of glycaemic response (GR) and glycaemic index (GI) has become a topic of great nutritional interest. The overall theme of this thesis was to understand the role of body composition, ethnicity and type of diet on glycaemic response. The GI refers to the blood glucose raising potential …

Glycaemic Response in Relation to Gastric Emptying and Satiety in Health and Disease
… prevent the development of type 2 diabetes. Low glycaemic index foods that are rich in fibre are recommended to control blood glucose levels. Gastric emptying, together with other factors, regulate the postprandial blood glucose response. A delay in the gastric emptying rate (GER) leads to a …

Can polyphenol-rich millets affect glycaemic response, insulinaemic response and gastric emptying in prediabetes?
… exert their protective effects by reducing the glycaemic response and improving insulin sensitivity. It is possible that millet consumption may also help prevent and/or reduce the risk of developing type-2 diabetes. The aims of this PhD were to 1) determine the levels of polyphenols and …

The influence of the physical state and habitual mastication on the glycaemic response and satiety
… intake and energy regulation. The blood glucose response (GR) has been shown to significantly influence short term food intake and therefore energy balance. Regulating the GR is also important in diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance; conditions which are also closely linked with obesity. Poor …

The role of polyphenols on sugar release from carbohydrate rich foods, and the consequent impact on metabolic risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes
… functional food additives for improving glycaemic control. The aim of this PhD was to assess the effect of a variety of polyphenol rich sources including green, black and white teas, and also green tea extract, grape seed extract, resveratrol, and baobab fruit extract, on starch digestion …

The role of protein and starch of legumes and cereals on the formation of healthy snack products
… control postprandial protein digestibility and glycaemic response of individuals. However, there is limited data available on the efficacy of legume and cereal that grown in New Zealand on the protein and carbohydrate digestibility. The main aim of this research project is to evaluate the …

Relationships of gastric emptying with glycaemia, insulin secretion and the incretin effect in health and type 2 diabetes
… hormones (GIP and GLP-1) and postprandial glycaemic and insulinaemic responses in health and type 2 diabetes. Key themes relate to: 1) Evaluation of the relationships of ‘early’ and ‘late’ glycaemic responses with gastric emptying in subjects with normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose …

Incorporation of mushroom powder into cereal food products
… as energy dense and often exhibit a high glycaemic index. As consumers demand healthier food products, the cereal food industry has endeavoured to improve the nutritional content of products by increasing their composition of bioactive phytochemicals. On the other hand, mushrooms are the …

Childhood outcomes in children at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia
… and (3) determine the relationships between glycaemic response to neonatal hypoglycaemia, its treatment, and later neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods Prospective study of children born at risk of neonatal hypoglycaemia at Waikato hospital (2006-2010), the CHYLD study. Intermittent blood and …

Innovative food design to support a healthier diet – exploring the effects of dietary fibre enrichment on functional characteristics, physiological and microbiome effects, and consumer acceptance of staple foods
… develop palatable fibre-rich foods with a lower glycaemic index, energy density, and increased microbiome accessibility. However, it is unclear whether isolated fibres can substitute high proportions of refined carbohydrates in foods without compromising functionality or acceptability. …

The effect of polyphenol-rich flaxseed muffins on glycaemic, insulinaemic and 24-hour glucose response in healthy adults
… muffin types produced a significantly lower glycaemic response (GR) compared to standard glucose, but there were no significant differences between the flaxseed muffin types. Moreover, adding flaxseed lowered the Glycaemic Index (GI) value compared to the control muffins (64.3 ± 36.8 vs. 53.3 …

The effect of protein and fat meal content on the insulin requirement of type 1 diabetic children
… study was to determine the true post-prandial glycaemic response and total insulin need for mixed meals with known, constant carbohydrate content but different fat and protein contents, using insulin pump therapy and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in children with type 1diabetes. RESEARCH …

Glucose metabolism in the critically ill.
… reduction in glucose absorption, postprandial glycaemic excursions were sustained for longer in the critically ill, attesting to the marked disturbance in glucose disposal in this group. The current management of ‘feed-intolerance’ in the critically ill involves delivery of nutrient via a …

Glycaemic control in pregnancies complicated by type 1 diabetes
… goal of treatment for these women is to optimise glycaemic control and thereby improve clinical outcomes for themselves and for their baby. This thesis examines glycaemic control in the mothers and infants of pregnancies affected by type 1 diabetes. I present the first home studies of closed-loop …

The diabetic diet : education, compliance and practical applications
… investigate different methods of improving the glycaemic control of diabetic out-patients, within the scope of the author's training both as a therapeutic dietitian and as a teacher. Evidence is presented from the literature, which indicates that high-carbohydrate, high-fibre diets are of …
