  1. Blood Glucose Levels Rachel Whittle Undergraduate ( Health Science Concentration) Department of Biology Tennessee Tech University Cookeville, TN 38505

  2. Project Summary • Problem • Disease and other health problems related to high glucose levels have increased • Objective/ Hypothesis • Iwant to find out how diet and exercise can influence blood glucose levels • When less sugar and complex carbs. are in the diet, and exercise is incorporated blood glucose levels will be lower • Plan • Use a glucometer to test my glucose levels 2 hr after meals and exercise • Expected Results • I expect that the day I follow a strict diet and exercise I will have lower blood glucose levels

  3. Background • Problem • Disease and other health problems related to high glucose levels have increased • Literature Cited • Accord. 2008. Accord’s discord on Blood Sugar Control. Harvard Heart Letter 18: 2 • Belvoir Media Group. 2006. Mediterranean-style diets outperform low-fat regimens. Men’s Health Advisor 8.9: 7 • Dorota B. Pawlak, Jake A. Kushner and David S. Ludwig.2004.Effects of dietary glycaemic index on adiposity, glucose homoeostasis, and plasma lipids in animals. The Lancet 364:778 • Ho, Lara, Gittelsohn, Joel, Sharma, Sangita, Cao, Xia, Treuth, Margarita, Rimal, Rajiv, Ford, Elizabeth, Harris, Stewart. 2008. Food-related behavior, physical activity, and dietary intake in First Nations1-a population at high risk for diabetes. Ethnicity and Health 13: 335-349

  4. Objective/ Hypothesis (Null) • Objective • I want to find outhow diet and exercise can influence blood glucose levels • Hypothesis • When less sugar and complex carbs are in the diet, and exercise incorporated blood glucose will be lower • Null • There will be no difference in the experimental treatment and control groups

  5. Methods and Materials • Statistics • Data Form • Experimental Design

  6. Statistics

  7. Data Form

  8. Experimental Design • Test Group • Rep 1- I will set up two days out of the week where I eat for Breakfast: pop tart and orange juice Lunch: pasta w/alfredo sauce, bread and sweet tea Dinner: fried chicken strips with honey mustard, french fries, and a coke. I will record blood sugar two hours after each meal. • Rep 2- Repeat diet and record blood sugar each meal. Add exercise to my day and test blood sugar two hours after exercise.

  9. Experimental Design • Reference or Control Group • Rep 1- I will set up two other days out of the week where I eat for Breakfast: yogurt and water Lunch: turkey wrap, fruit, and water Dinner: grilled chicken salad low fat dressing and water. I will record my blood sugar every two hours after each meal • Rep 2- Repeat diet and record blood sugar each meal. Add exercise to my day and test blood sugar two hours after exercise.

  10. Expected Results and Benefits • Expected Results • I can influence my glucose levels through diet and exercise. The days when I follow the strict diet and exercise I will have lower glucose levels • Benefits • If expected results occur it will help people who are struggling with high glucose health problems or disease to control glucose levels and have a greater quality of life

  11. Results and Advantages • Expected Results • When less sugar and complex carbs are in the diet, and exercise incorporated blood glucose will be lower (hypothesis). Expect to reject the null/ • Advantages • If expected results occur it help people who are struggling with high glucose health problems or disease to control glucose levels and have a greater quality of life
