Abstract

|
|
Purpose: This study was to investigate the effects of Carbohydrates on blood glucose levels in healthy adults after taking the monosaccharide glucose and disaccharide candies.
Methods: This study was experimental research using a randomized controlled trial. Participants were college students who could agree the purpose of the study and participated voluntarily and met the selection criteria. Considering the dropout rate, 25 subjects in each group were included. The assignments of the experimental group and the control group were randomly assigned, and this study used the allocation concealment. Glucose tablets of 15g in the experimental group, and 15g sugar of candies in the control group were orally ingested. Blood glucose was measured before ingestion, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 30 minutes after ingestion.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences in blood glucose of 10 minutes (U=406.00, p=.069), 15 minutes (U=370.00, p=.264), and 30 minutes after ingestion (U=337.00, p=.634) between experimental (glucose tablet oral ingestion) and control groups (mint candy oral ingestion).
Conclusion: There was no difference in the blood glucose level up to 30 minutes after ingestion of monosaccharide glucose and disaccharide candy. Through this study, the decision to use either candy or glucose tablets in the event of hypoglycemia can be chosen according to the patient's preference.
