Eating high GI meals before exercise may result in
plasma glucose concentrations peaking before the onset of exercise and then hypoglycaemia occurring within the first 30 minutes of the exercise period.
Three studies diagnosed diabetes from a 75 - g oral - glucose - tolerance test (6, 21, 23), 3 from
fasting plasma glucose concentrations (11, 22, 24), and one study used postload or fasting glucose concentrations (10).
When adjustments were made for intake of meat, beer, vegetables, and root crops, the intake of fat from milk and cream was still related to body weight, waist circumference, BMI, the waist - to - hip ratio, and the fasting
plasma glucose concentration (data not shown).
The plasma glucose concentration was determined with the use of a glucose oxidase method (Beckman glucose analyzer with an oxygen electrode; Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA).
During the long workout, the benefits of carbohydrates are achieved by maintaining
the plasma glucose concentrations in the body, while during an enoumous workout, carbohydrate intake positively affect the central nervous system.
«CHO [carbohydrate] and CHO+VC significantly blunted the post-exercise increase in plasma concentrations of cortisol, ACTH, total leukocyte, and neutrophil counts and limited the decrease in
plasma glucose concentration and bacteria - stimulated neutrophil degranulation.»
Medical history was evaluated and a blood sample was taken to assess blood glycated hemoglobin content and fasting
plasma glucose concentrations.
For cases that were diagnosed after 1998, we changed the cutoff for fasting
plasma glucose concentrations to 7.0 mmol / l [126 mg / dl] in accordance with the 1997 American Diabetes Association criteria (17).
In these cases, ketosis is suppressed and
plasma glucose concentrations can become very high.
