Fig. 2: PPGRs to carbohydrate meals can be stratified into groups.
From: Individual variations in glycemic responses to carbohydrates and underlying metabolic physiology
a, The Spearman correlation between PPGRs to all different meals, including both the delta glucose peak of standardized carbohydrate meals and the suppression effect of mitigator foods. The delta glucose peak was calculated as the difference between the peak and baseline. The suppression mitigator effects were defined by subtracting the delta glucose peak of rice + mitigator from that of rice and then normalizing it by that of rice. b, Examples of CGM curves of participants with different carbohydrate meals with the highest PPGR (carb-response type). c, Number of participants assigned to each carb-response type. The carb-response types are defined by both delta glucose peak and AUC(>baseline). The x axis indicates the standardized carbohydrate meal that produced the highest glucose spike, and the y axis is the number of participants for whom a given meal caused the highest spike. d, The Asian group was enriched with individuals with rice as the carbohydrate meal with the highest peak. e, Radar plot of delta glucose to different carbohydrate meals in an IS (SSPG 61 mg dl−1) and an IR (SSPG 239 mg dl−1) participant. Delta glucose values were averaged between replicates and scaled by the carbohydrate with the highest value. Insulin resistance, disposition index (DI) and HbA1c were also presented.
