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.

Using glucose as the reference standard, the study will measure the blood glucose response following consumption of each watermelon type in healthy adult participants. The objective is to identify variations in glycemic impact among watermelon varieties to inform dietary recommendations for blood sugar management.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single group (cross over) | Active Comparator | Participants will consume a standard oral glucose solution containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate. This serves as the reference for calculating glycemic index. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water melon (sugar baby) | Other | Participants will consume a portion of watermelon Type A containing 50 grams of available carbohydrate to evaluate its glycemic index and glycemic load. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Glycemic Index (GI) of Watermelon Varieties | Description: Incremental area under the blood glucose response curve (iAUC) over 120 minutes after consuming each watermelon type, expressed as a percentage of the iAUC after consuming the glucose reference. | 1 month |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Glycemic Load (GL) of Watermelon Varieties | Calculated using the formula: Glycemic Load = (GI × carbohydrate content per typical serving) ÷ 100 | 1 month |
