First-year medical students learned about the impact of nutrition on obesity and diabetes through lectures and a laboratory exercise where they tested how carbohydrates of varying glycemic indexes changed blood glucose concentrations. Pre- and posttests were conducted to assess this teaching intervention. The posttest ranks were significantly higher compared with the pretest ranks (Z = −6.6, P < 0.001), suggesting the intervention was beneficial to students.
