Glycemic Index have relevance in the regulation of blood glucose with different glycemic response variables that are useful for T2DM. This study aims to determine glycemic response variables, including Peak of Blood Glucose Level (PBGL), Time of Peak Blood Glucose (TPBG), Maximum Increase of Blood Glucose (MIBG), 2-hours of Postpandrial Blood Glucose (2hPPBG) and Incremental Area Under Glucose Curve (IAUC) of Indonesian local food with staple food dishes based on red rice by different preparation process and composition of menus recipes standard, energy and macronutrient, the total dietary fiber (TDF), glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL).
