Introduction: In this research we explored the eating habits of bread, such as
the frequency, quantity, type of bread and age, and the influence of different
types of bread on blood sugar in a sense of satiety.
Methods: In this study, we used the method of a questionnaire among 131
adults. The change of blood sugar in capillary blood was measured in 10 healthy
people and 20 diabetics. Blood sugar was measured 90 minutes after consum-
ing white and full grain, fresh and aged bread.
Results: The results show that most respondents consume full-grain bread in
amounts up to 200 g once or twice a day. A statistically significant difference in-
dicates that people with a higher body weight rarely consume bread than peo-
ple with a lower weight. Several overweight people expressed the opinion that
bread affects weight gain.The results of the study show that the type of bread
affects the sense of satiety in healthy adults in diabetics. When observing the
sense of satiety, all the participants state that they were hungry the fastest after
consuming fresh white bread, a little later after the aged white bread, and later
after the fresh whole-grain bread. The participants listed the longest feeling of
satiety after consuming the old whole-grain bread.
Discussion and conclusions: The study confirms the effect of dietary fiber and
retrograded starch on the extension of the satiety and a small increase of blood
sugar after ingestion.
Keywords: bread, blood sugar, eating habits
