Comparison of glucose parameters between the morning and evening trials.

	Morning trial	Late afternoon trial
Mean (mg/dl)	98.5 ± 0.7	94.1 ± 1.0**
MAX (mg/dl)	115.9 ± 2.2	113.0 ± 1.6
MIN (mg/dl)	82.7 ± 0.6	76.9 ± 1.0**
MAGE (mg/dl)	33.1 ± 2.4	36.0 ± 2.0
J-index	11.7 ± 0.3	10.9 ± 0.2**

All data are presented as mean ± standard error, SD: standard deviation, MAX: maximum glucose, MIN: minimum glucose, MAGE: mean amplitude of glycaemic excursion. **P < 0.01 compared to the level in the Morning trial (paired t-test). Glucose parameters were calculated from the 24-hour blood glucose fluctuations after the intervention for each trial (from Saturday to next Thursday). The 24-h glucose variability measurements were taken from 00:00 h to 24:00 h on that day.
