Abstract

Diabetic patients are challenged with what kind of food they will eat that will not spike their blood glucose level and at the same time also reduce monotony and give them variety. This study focuses on the effects of composite flour blend stiff-porridge on diabetes induced albino rats in Nsukka Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria. Two objectives, research questions and hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The study was anchored on the theory of Nutrition and related concepts were reviewed. An experimental design was applied, while simple random sampling technique was used to select 90 healthy albino rats with weights that ranges between 197gram to 255gram weight. The study lasted for twenty-one days. The findings of the study revealed that the glycemic response of the diabetic rats fed with the stiff-porridge made with the millet composite flour blend had a positive effect of reduction of hyperglycemia in the diabetes induced albino rats, while Millet has a low glycemic index (GI) that makes it fit as a diabetic meal because its unable to spike blood sugar levels. Based on the findings, the study concludes that the use of selected composite flour blends from locally grown cereals/grains, legumes and plantain to make stiff-porridges could add to the variety of foods (stiff-porridge) for the diabetics and those susceptible to diabetes mellitus who are always complaining of monotony of stiff-porridge whenever hungry. The study therefore recommended that blend of stiff-porridge should be introduced to people with health challenges like diabetes mellitus in Nigeria.
