RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Impact of different timing of consuming sweet snack on postprandial glucose excursions in healthy women.
Diabetes & Metabolism 2019 September
AIMS: Our aim was to evaluate the acute effect of eating sweet snacks at different times of day on glycaemic parameters in young women without diabetes.
METHODS: In this randomized controlled three-treatment crossover study, 17 women [(means ± SD) age: 21.2 ± 0.8 years, BMI: 20.7 ± 2.5 kg/m2, HbA1c : 36 ± 2 mmol/mol (5.1 ± 0.2%)] wore flash (continuous) glucose monitoring systems for 7 days. Each participant consumed identical test meals on days 4, 5 and 6, but consumed sweet snacks (baked cake: 498 kcal; 53.6 g of carbohydrate, 8.0 g of protein, 28.0 g of fat) at 12:30 (post-lunch), 15:30 (mid-afternoon) and 19:30 (post-dinner), respectively, on each of those days. Daily glycaemic parameters on those 3 days of snacking at different times of day were compared within-participant.
RESULTS: The mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions (3.54 ± 0.32 vs. 2.73 ± 0.20 mmol/L; P < 0.05), standard deviation of glucose (1.20 ± 0.11 vs. 0.92 ± 0.07 mmol/L; P < 0.05), incremental area under the curve (IAUC) for glucose at 12:00-07:00 (986 ± 89 vs. 716 ± 88 mmol/L × min; P < 0.05) and IAUC at 07:00-10:00 the next day (141 ± 17 vs. 104 ± 12 mmol/L × min; P < 0.05) when the snack was eaten post-dinner were all significantly higher than with mid-afternoon snacking.
CONCLUSION: Eating sweet snacks post-dinner should be avoided because it worsens glucose excursions as well as postprandial glucose levels after both dinner and the following day's breakfast in young healthy (non-diabetic) women.
