Summary
This study measured how different types of Saudi dates and date products (like paste and molasses) affect blood sugar in 40 healthy adults. Participants ate a set amount of carbohydrates from dates or a sugar solution, and their blood sugar was tracked for two hours. The goal was to calculate the glycemic index and load of each date product to help people understand their effect on blood sugar.
