Figure 7From: Acute metabolic responses to a high-carbohydrate meal in outpatients with type 2 diabetes treated with a low-carbohydrate diet: a crossover meal tolerance studyThe relationship between Δketone bodies (level at 120 minutes - level at baseline) and the insulinogenic index after the intake of HCM. Closed and open circles indicate subjects in the strict and moderate CARD groups, respectively. The parameter Δketone bodies was significantly correlated with the insulinogenic index (β-hydroxybutyrate: Spearman's r = 0.503, P = 0.004; acetoacetate: Spearman's r = 0.509, P = 0.003).Back to article page
