Abstract

Increasingly, diabetes, which is a metabolic disease, constitutes a major public health problem. A balanced diet and regular consumption of foods rich in dietary fiber such as raw vegetables, leafy vegetables and fruits are among the characteristics of the new eating habits of diabetic patients for better care. The objective of this study was to carry out a comparative study of glycemic responses (GR) after consumption of these different foods rich in dietary fiber. To do this, a food consumption survey was carried out among the populations of Abidjan to find the most consumed raw vegetables, cooked leafy vegetables and fruits. Then, the glycemic responses of a carbohydrate food (rice) associated with one of these foods rich in dietary fiber were studied. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 22 software at the 5% threshold. The results showed that the most consumed foods rich in dietary fiber were lettuce salad (44.27%) and raw vegetable salad (38.21%) for raw vegetables, potato leaf sauces (67.34%) and spinach leaves (22.92%) for leafy vegetables, orange (36.33%) and sweet banana (33.26%) for fruits. The glycemic responses obtained after consumption of white rice + fruits (orange, sweet banana) are the highest, followed by those after consumption of white rice + raw vegetables (raw vegetables, lettuce salad) then white rice + leaf sauces (leaves potatoes, spinach leaves).
