Abstract
Eating vegetables before carbohydrates improves postprandial glucose excursions
Highlights
Large fluctuations in blood glucose are reported to promote the micro- and macrovascular complications associated with Type 2 diabetes
We reported acute effects of eating vegetables before carbohydrates on postprandial glucose and insulin levels [3] and the long-term glycaemic improvements in patients with Type 2 diabetes [4]
In this study we evaluated whether eating vegetables before carbohydrates could reduce the daily postprandial glucose excursions assessed by continuous glucose monitoring system in Japanese patients with Type 2 diabetes and subjects with normal glucose tolerance
Summary
Large fluctuations in blood glucose are reported to promote the micro- and macrovascular complications associated with Type 2 diabetes. We reported acute effects of eating vegetables before carbohydrates on postprandial glucose and insulin levels [3] and the long-term glycaemic improvements in patients with Type 2 diabetes [4].
