Postprandial plasma glucose excursion is defined as the difference between 2-hour postprandial and fasting plasma glucose levels. BMI: Body mass index, FPG: Fasting plasma glucose, Alt: Alanine aminotransferase, HbA1c: Glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, PPGE: Postprandial plasma glucose excursion, mg/dL: Milligrams per deciliter, mm Hg: Mmillimeters of mercury, kg: Kilograms, m: Meters, mg: Milligrams.
