amount of 30 g per day, which is about a tablespoon and for the people that wanted a<br />

personalized diet was designed.<br />

• Subsequently measurements on the blood glucose and somatometric measurements were<br />

made every week.<br />

RESULTS<br />

The studied population was conformed of 54 individuals from whom 14.8 % deserted the study, the<br />

85.2 % remaining continued with the study; only the first 4 glucose measurements were considered, in<br />

order to have representative sample size for this work. Of the 46 studied subjects 32 were women and<br />

14 men.<br />

Distribution of the populación<br />

studied by sex<br />

One of the following treatments was proposed to each one of the previous groups:<br />

• Without treatment (T0)<br />

• Consumption of cactus marmalade (T1)<br />

• Consumption of cactus marmalade and diet (T2)<br />

Graphic 2.<br />

Percent of peoples included in<br />

each group<br />

The diet given to the individuals on group T2 was variable in accordance to the type of nutrition of<br />

each person and was calculated from the ideal weight of each individual.<br />

Graphic 3 shows the percentage of individuals that were put under each treatment. It is important to<br />

state that these percentages are variable due to the decision of each individual on whether to take or<br />

not the treatment and which treatment they chose.<br />
