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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Dates (various cultivars and date-based products)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help people with diabetes or those watching their blood sugar make informed choices about eating dates.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study in healthy adults, so results may not apply to people with diabetes or other health conditions. It does not test a treatment or intervention.
