Data are mean±SD values or median with quartile range.

a

Significant difference between the low-carbohydrate (LC) and medium-carbohydrate (MC) diets.

b

Significant difference between the MC and high-carbohydrate (HC) diets.

c

Significant difference between the LC and HC diets.

IGR, impaired glucose regulation; MBG, mean blood glucose; NGT, normal glucose tolerance; PGS, postprandial glucose spike; PPGE, postprandial glucose excursion; SD BG, SD of mean blood glucose.
