The Effect of Two Types of Pasta Versus White Rice on Postprandial Blood Glucose Levels in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes: A Randomized Crossover Trial.

ABSTRACT: Background: Food choices are essential to successful glycemic control for people with diabetes. We compared the impact of three carbohydrate-rich meals on the postprandial glycemic response in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: We performed a randomized crossover study in 12 adults with T1D (age 58.7 ± 14.2 years, baseline hemoglobin A1c 7.5% ± 1.3%) comparing the postprandial glycemic response to three meals using continuous glucose monitoring: (1) "higher protein" pasta containing 10 g protein/serving, (2) regular pasta with 7 g protein/serving, and (3) extra-long grain white rice. All meals contained 42 g carbohydrate; were served with homemade tomato sauce, green salad, and balsamic dressing; and were repeated twice in random order. After their insu
