[A hamburger may be included in the diabetic diet. A questionnaire study of glycemic response and dietary treatment in connection with a hamburger meal in teenage diabetics].
By means of a glycaemic response study the effect on postprandial blood glucose of a standard hamburger was compared with an ordinary, isocaloric cheese sandwich. Twenty five teenage insulin dependent diabetic patients participated; patients with preprandial blood glucose above 12 mmol/l were excluded. On different days at 3.30 p.m. they consumed a standard hamburger (McDonald's) and an isocaloric cheese sandwich. Blood glucose was measured every half hour during the 3 1/2 hour observation period. The glycaemic response and peak postprandial blood glucose were calculated, and no significant differences in either indices were observed (p greater than 0.05). It is concluded that hamburgers of this specific composition can substitute snack meals in the diabetic diet without risk to the metabolic control.
