    [abstract] => Background: The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of the postprandial blood glucose response of foods, which is a critical determinant of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management and preventing chronic diseases. Sudanese traditional foods are widely consumed, but limited data are available on their glycemic index
Objective: To determine the glycemic index of selected Sudanese traditional foods and evaluate their potential role in glycemic control for T2DM patients.
Methods: A cross-sectional experimental study was conducted on volunteers (n=120). Participants consumed reference glucose and test foods including kisra (sorghum flatbread), assida (sorghum porridge), gorasa (wheat flatbread), millet porridge, fermented kisra lentils, and bread. Capillary blood glucose was measured at fasting, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. GI was calculated using the incremental area under the curve (iAUC) relative to glucose.
Results: Kisra, Millet porridge and assida had medium GI values (58 , 61, 62, respectively). Gorasa (72) and Wheat bread (75) had high GI. Fermented kisra had a lower GI (52) compared to plain kisra. Legume-based meals such as lentils (42) had low GI. Overall, 2 foods were low GI, 3 were medium GI, and 2 were high GI.
Conclusion: Traditional Sudanese foods show variable GI values, with legumes and fermented foods being more favorable for glycemic control. Promoting low and medium GI traditional foods may help reduce the burden of diabetes in Sudan.
