Shukla AP, et al. - Researchers conducted the study analyzing the effect of food order on postprandial glycemic excursions in prediabetes. For this investigation, 15 study participants with prediabetes consumed the same meal for 3 days in random order: carbohydrate first, followed 10 minutes later by protein and vegetables (CF); protein and vegetables first, followed 10 minutes later by carbohydrate (PVF); or vegetables first followed by protein and carbohydrate (VF). The CF meal pattern showed marked glycemic variability. On the other hand, glucose levels were stable in the PVF and VF meal conditions. In prediabetes, food order presents a novel, simple behavioral strategy to decrease glycemic excursions.
