Figure 3. Distribution of the Glycemic Responses to the Different Proportions and Ratios of Nutrients.

Figure 3.

Postprandial glycemic response (PPGR) is defined as the incremental area under the curve of blood glucose levels in the 2 hours after a meal. Boxes show the 25th percentile (bottom of box), median (box midline), and 75th percentile (top of box). The error bars show the distribution, excluding outliers (Q1 − 1.5*IQR and Q3 + 1.5*IQR, where IQR = Q3 − Q1, Q3 is the 75th percentile, and Q1 is the 25th percentile), and the yellow line shows how the median changes across different ranges of nutrients. IQR indicates interquartile range; Q, quantile.
