Objectives: The main objective was to determine the impact of turkey berry fortified cookie on postprandial glucose level in people living with diabetes. specific objectives included; determination of microbial safety level, nutritional and bioactive profile of the cookies, calculation of iAUC of the participants.

Methods: Randomized Control Trial was used. Participants were randomly assigned to either the turkey berry fortified cookie or the plain cookie. Blood glucose level was measured repeatedly  for 120 mins and iAUC calculated for each participants. linear mixed model was used to compare the iAUC of the two treatments.

Results: The proximate analysis shows that fortified cookie has higher nutritional and bioactive compounds than the plain cookie.

Also the mean iAUC of participants who consumed the turkey berry fortified cookie was lower than those who took the plain cookie (p-value of 0.0004).

Conclusions: Turkey berry fortified cookies have the potential in controlling the postprandial glucose level in diabetics.

Funding Sources: It was self funded.
