title: High and low glycemic index mixed meals and blood glucose in youth with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance.
abstract: This cross-over pilot study tested blood glucose response to low and high glycemic index meals in 12 obese youth with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. Participants demonstrated significantly lower mean daytime blood glucose and a trend toward lower variability, suggesting a clinically relevant impact of reducing glycemic index.
