	NO SNACK	BARS	HUMMUS
Daily glucose responses
AUC, mg/dL•18 h	103,000 ± 2670^a	106,000 ± 1180^a	103,000 ± 1950^a
Mean concentrations, mg/dL	94.7 ± 2.4^a	97.5 ± 1.1^a	95.1 ± 1.8^a
Variability ± SD²	12.7 ± 2.8^a	10.9 ± 2.4^a	11.7 ± 2.5^a
Postsnack glucose responses
AUC, mg/dL•3 h	15,300 ± 476^a	17,800 ± 299^b	16,800 ± 355^c
Mean concentrations, mg/dL	85.2 ± 2.6^a	98.9 ± 1.6^b	93.0 ± 1.9^c
Variability ± SD²	4.2 ± 0.5^a	10.2 ± 1.0^b	9.3 ± 1.5^c
Evening snack glucose responses
AUC, mg/dL•8 h	45,400 ± 1390^a	47,100 ± 693^a	45,300 ± 816^a
Mean concentrations, mg/dL	95.6 ± 2.9^a	99.3 ± 1.4^a	95.3 ± 1.7^a
Variability ± SD²	13.2 ± 1.4^a	10.1 ± 0.8^b	10.1 ± 1.1^b

¹Values are means ± SEMs unless indicated otherwise; n = 39. Labeled means in a row without a common letter differ, P < 0.05. BARS, granola bars; HUMMUS, hummus and pretzels snack; NO SNACK, no afternoon snack.

The mean of the SDs across the data is calculated to determine glucose variability.
