Postprandial blood glucose in type 2 diabetic rats receiving one load of different diets. After fasting for 14 h, type 2 diabetic rats were gavaged respectively by 45% glucose (4.5 ml/kg, HCD group), 20% lipid emulsion (4.5 ml/kg, HLD group), 20% lactalbumin (10 ml/kg, HPD group) or mixed meal (1 : 1 : 1 of above diet ingredients, MD group). The energy was 33 kJ for all the diets

HCD – high carbohydrate diet, HLD – high lipid diet, HPD – high protein diet, MD – mixed diet, FBG – fasting blood glucose, P2BG – postprandial blood glucose, *compared with HCD group p < 0.05; #compared with HLD group p < 0.05, ^Δcompared with HPD group p < 0.05.
