title: The effect of diet on intermediary metabolite concentrations in Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.
abstract: The metabolic response to a standard meal was studied in six Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients at diagnosis and following 4-6 weeks of dietary treatment. The fall in blood glucose concentration following treatment was accompanied by significant reductions in circulating concentrations of lactate, pyruvate, alanine and glycerol. Blood 3-hydroxybutyrate concentrations also fell with treatment.
