Study information
Scientific title
Diabetes Health, Residence and Metabolism in Asians: The DHRMA Study
Acronym
DRN 335 DHRMA
Study hypothesis
The DHRMA study will focus on testing two distinct hypotheses using two separate studies:
1. Glycaemic index study:
1.1. The glycaemic index (GI) of DHRMA basmati rice (KETT less than 35%) is lower than UK traditional basmati rice or UK Super Basmati (KETT greater than 40%) and comparable to unrefined rice from rural Gujarat (jya and mysuri kernels); and
1.2. The GI of DHRMA stone-ground flour is lower than UK white and brown and wholemeal chapatti flour, but comparable to hand-milled flour from rural India
2. Interventional study:
We will test the hypothesis that intervention with a low GI, carbohydrate rich/low fat diet will result in favourable changes in metabolic, diabetes and CHD risk indices compared to a high GI, carbohydrate rich/low fat diet.
