Abstract

Composite meals with mashed potatoes, polished rice or mashed white beans were administered to eleven diabetic subjects (seven Type II and four Type I). As earlier reported in non-diabetic subjects (Torsdottir et al., 1984) the difference in gastric emptying, measured by 51Cr-technique, correlated with the difference in blood glucose response when comparing the meals including mashed potatoes and polished rice, rs = 0.93 (P less than 0.01), but no such correlation was found after the meal with white beans.
