Fasting plasma glucose normalized within day 7 of the diet, and within 8 weeks
insulin response and secretion were normalized.
Since
fasting plasma glucose concentration depends entirely on the
fasting rate of liver glucose production, that dropped also after one week because the liver was now becoming responsive to
insulin.
The increased
insulin sensitivity positively influenced the decrease in
fasting plasma glucose and HFC (although the HbA1c level decreased comparably in both regimens) or, conversely, decreased HFC may have led to increased
insulin sensitivity, because HFC is typically associated with
insulin resistance (independent of BMI)[40], metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and subclinical atherosclerosis [41].
Changes in
fasting plasma glucose,
fasting insulin, blood pressure, and total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol were similar across dietary treatments (P ≥ 0.20).
The diagnosis of diabetes, by conventional standards, (though I believe that diabetes ought to be diagnosed by
