Sigma Nutrition Radio
The Risk Factor in Blood Glucose Intake
The most interesting thing is that these individuals obviously were were normal normal glycemic as defined by their measured blood glucose plasma glucose at two hours in response to the so GTT. But when kind of end up looking at the area under the curve data and insofar as we think that the real association with glycemic variability is you've got this constant exposure to elevated glucose in the blood it could potentially have knock-on effects for microvascular complications. The study used a method of statistical analysis known as latent class analysis which is a slightly more refined and complex way of of considering data. It's also been used in nutrition research to look at different meal patterns whether someone's a grazer or otherwise.
