Background Epidemiological data suggests that a low-GI diet has a protective role against
development of type 2 diabetes (1, 2), coronary hart disease (3, 4), and the metabolic …

Background: Optimal cognitive performance is important for learning. The brain uses
glucose for fuel, so one proposed factor influencing cognition is circulating blood glucose …

Objective: To find useful methods for the studies of cognitive function during a postprandial
period, and to use these methods to evaluate function after test meals differing in post meal …

Aims/hypothesis Transient hyperglycaemia, consistent with that observed with normal meal
ingestion, may be detrimental to cognitive performance in adults with type 2 diabetes. This …

The effect on cognitive test scores of generating differences in postprandial glycaemia using
test foods or beverages has been inconsistent. Methodological issues may account for some …

Background: Previous research on the glycaemic index has suggested that low glycaemic
index foods may have a positive effect on cognitive function. However, the body of literature …

The aim of this thesis was to examine the effects of postprandial glycaemia on cognition and
mood. Three studies provided evidence that low GL meals/drinks result in cognitive …

Background: The primary fuel for the brain is glucose derived from the systemic circulation.
This has led to the hypothesis that blood glucose concentration can influence cognitive …

Purpose Few studies have examined acute cognitive effects of dairy products. Prior work
suggests baseline glucoregulatory function may moderate the relationship between …

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and poor glucose regulation in the immediate
postprandial period are both associated with impairments in cognitive function. There is …
