TABLE 3.

Fasting and 120-min values for glucose and insulin during an oral glucose tolerance test.

Baseline n = 17 Baseline after Exercise n = 17 LCHF n = 17 LCHF after Exercise n = 17
Glucose (mmol/L)
Fasting (0 min) 4.7 ± 0.1 4.4 ± 0.1 4.4 ± 0.1 4.4 ± 0.1
120 min 5.1 ± 0.3 4.6 ± 0.2 5.4 ± 0.3 6.2 ± 0.4**§
Insulin (pmol/L)
Fasting (0 min) 40 ± 5 39 ± 6 40 ± 6 39 ± 6
120 min 313 ± 45 223 ± 25 317 ± 37 352 ± 57∗∗
Matsuda index 7.6 ± 1.1 9.9 ± 2.3 7.5 ± 0.9 6.0 ± 0.6∗∗
HOMA2-IR 0.74 ± 0.08 0.71 ± 0.11 0.73 ± 0.11 0.76 ± 0.11

Insulin sensitivity was calculated as Matsuda and HOMA2- IR. Values shown for baseline and after 3 weeks on a LCHF diet, before and after one bout of exercise. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. P ≤ 0.05 vs. Baseline, ∗∗P ≤ 0.05 vs. baseline after exercise, §P ≤ 0.05 vs. LCHF.
