1One-way ANOVA. Means with the different superscripts in a given row are significantly different (Tukey's post hoc t-test). (+) GC: with good glycaemic control; (-) GC: without good glycaemic control (poor glycaemic control); FRAP: ferric reducing ability of plasma; NG: normoglycaemic; ORAC: oxygen radical absorptive capacity; PDM: prediabetics; TEAC: Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity; T2D: type 2 diabetics.
