Determination of the Glycemic Index (GI) and Glycemic Load (GL) of Watermelon (Citrullus Lanatus) in Healthy Adults
Sponsor: Rehman Medical Institute - RMI
Summary
This study aims to evaluate and compare the glycemic load (GL) and glycemic index (GI) of different types of watermelons commonly available in the market. Using glucose as the reference standard, the study will measure the blood glucose response following consumption of each watermelon type in healthy adult participants.
