Effect of diets with glycemic load arrangement on blood glucose levels in young soccer athletes Background: Carbohydrate arrangement considering the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (BG) are important to support the performance of athletes.Objective: To examine the effect of diets with glycemic load arrangement on blood glucose levels in young soccer athletes.Methods: Quasi-experimental study on 14 male young soccer players aged 15-18 years old at Terang Bangsa Soccer School. Each subject completed 4 trials separated by at least 7 days as a washout period. Diets provided consist of high GI with high GL diet (H-H), low GI with high GL diet (L-H), high GI with low GL (H-L), and low GI with low GL diet (L-L). Collected data were fasting blood glucose level (BGL 0), blood glucose level one hour after intervention (BGL 1), blood glucose level two hours after intervention (BGL 2), and blood glucose level after exercise (BGL 3).Results: The results of paired t-test analysis showed that there were differences between fasting blood glucose level and blood glucose level one hour after intervention, blood glucose level one hour after intervention and blood glucose level two hours after intervention, blood glucose level two hours after intervention and blood glucose level after exercise in the H-H and L-H diet group. In the L-L diet group, there were differences between BGL 2 and BGL 3. One-Way ANOVA analysis showed that there were no significant differences in blood glucose levels one hour after the intervention, blood glucose level two hours after intervention, and blood glucose level after exercise between groups.Conclusions: High glycemic load diets influence the increase in blood glucose levels at 1 hour postprandial and after exercise. Low glycemic load diets influence the increase in blood glucose levels after exercise. Diets with the arrangement of glycemic index and glycemic load did not affect blood glucose levels between diet groups.

Background: In resource-limited countries like Bangladesh, there is a scarcity of epidemiological researches examining the relationship of blood glucose level with hypertension and BMI among the graduate level students. This research was therefore undertaken to evaluate fasting blood glucose levels of Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University students and to check its associations with sex, body mass index (BMI) and hypertension. Methods: For the study the 240 students (120 male and 120 female) were randomly selected. The demographic data of the study subjects were collected by interviewing the subjects with standardized questionnaires. Their fasting blood glucose levels were measured using portable blood glucose meter. The BMI and blood pressure of the subjects were also recorded following standard protocol. Finally the data were analyzed with SPSS software. Results: The fasting blood glucose levels of the study subjects indicated that 0.4% of subjects were diabetic and, 5.4% of subjects were pre-diabetic. The blood glucose levels (mean±SE) of female subjects (4.88±0.07) were higher than that of the male (4.61±0.04) subjects. The mean blood glucose levels of hypertensive subjects (4.81±0.07 mmol/L) were higher than that of the normotensive counterpart (4.73±0.05 mmol/L). The fasting blood glucose levels shows significant positive associations with SBP (r=0.155, p<0.05) and DBP (r=0.149, p<0.05).The fasting blood glucose levels also showed a significant positive association with the BMI (r=0.193, p<0.01) of the subjects. Conclusions: This study reveals the diabetic and hypertension status of the Bangladeshi graduate level students. The result of the study is very important in the context of public concern health of Bangladesh.

Some previous studies have shown that an increase in blood glucose level makes people more future oriented, however, results are inconsistent, other studies failing to replicate this effect. Here, we tested whether psychological factors (in this instance, perception of food pleasantness after consumption of more palatable or less palatable meal) can play a moderating role. We hypothesized that consuming more palatable food (perceived as rewarding) should cause blood glucose levels to affect future discounting, but that this should not occur for the consumption of less palatable food. A high-powered, independent groups experiment (N = 149, power β = .90) showed that, subsequent to performing an initial discounting task, the two groups consuming a meal (a control group consumed no meal) displayed a significant increase in blood glucose levels 10 minutes after meal consumption and just before repeating the discounting task. However, the increased blood glucose levels did not cause changes in delay discounting in either experimental group.

BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia is a serious disorder of the brain and mind. People with schizophrenia are at high risk of developing type diabetes, due to overall poor physical health, poor health care, unhealthy lifestyles, and side effects of antipsychotic drugs. However, atypical antipsychotics have their deficiencies, because they can be associated with worsening cardiovascular risk factors such as weight gain, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. AIM: Difference in fasting blood glucose levels in people with schizophrenia between before and after receiving aripiprazole treatment. METHODS: This research was conducted in November 2017-September 2018. This research was first conducted in Indonesia, especially North Sumatra. This research is a numerical comparative analytical study paired with an experimental design approach. The number of samples is 44 people. Blood samples are taken in schizophrenia patients before getting the drug, before meals and before activities, assessed fasting blood glucose levels before being treated with aripiprazole and after drug administration for 6 weeks. Data analysis used was a paired test for differences in fasting blood glucose levels in people with schizophrenia between before and after receiving aripiprazole treatment. RESULTS: Based on the demographic characteristics found the research subjects based on the most age group were 31-40 years age group of 30 subjects (68.2%), based on the highest level of education was high school by 26 subjects (59.1%), based on the most marital status was by status not married for 24 subjects (54.5%). It was found that the average blood glucose level before being given aripiprazole in schizophrenic patients was 89.23 ± 7.13. It was found that the average blood glucose level after being given aripiprazole in schizophrenic patients was 86.5 ± 10.1. It was found that there were no differences in blood glucose levels before and after being given aripiprazole in schizophrenic patients CONCLUSION: There was no difference in blood glucose levels before and after being given aripiprazole in schizophrenic patients with p-value (0.078).
