Fasting BGL, peak BG excursion, time to peak BGL, time to fasting BGL, and AUC for each test condition
| Fasting BGL (mmol/l) | Peak BG excursion (mmol/l) | Time to peak BGL (min) | Time to fasting BGL (min) | AUC (mmol · h−1 · l−1) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low-GI meal, preprandial ultra-short-acting insulin | 8.8 (7.3–10.4) | 4.6 (3.0–6.2) | 70 (45–95) | 137 (99–175) | 2.5 (−2.9–7.8) |
| High-GI meal, preprandial ultra-short-acting insulin | 7.7 (6.3–9.1) | 8.1 (6.2–10.1)* | 75 (61–88)* | 179 (150–209) | 13.8 (6.4–21.2)* |
| Low-GI meal, preprandial regular insulin | 9.1 (7.0–11.2) | 5.7 (4.3–7.1) | 73 (54–92) | 136 (100–172) | 6.4 (1.9–10.9)* |
| Low-GI meal, postprandial ultra-short-acting insulin | 8.9 (7.5–10.2) | 6.3 (5.1–7.5)* | 63 (52–74) | 160 (133–186) | 5.9 (0.7–11.1) |
Data are means (95% CI).
Statistically different when compared with result for the low-GI meal, preprandial ultra-short-acting insulin (LSD, P < 0.05).
