Fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were calculated as the average of the three fasting samples.

He also had an elevated insulin concentration, suggesting a minor defect in sugar metabolism.

Achieved plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were determined as the mean of the 50, 55, and 60 minute samples.

Psyllium fiber reduces rise in postprandial glucose and insulin concentrations in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

Plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were assayed as described previously [ 37].

Two patients had very high insulin concentrations before starting treatment (161 and 213 mU/l), suggesting that they were not adequately fasted.

There were no significant differences between the median serum IGFBP-1 and insulin concentrations in well grown compared with stunted patients.

In non-diabetic subjects, portal insulin concentrations are twofold to threefold greater than those in the peripheral circulation.

The insulin concentration in blood increases after meals and gradually returns to basal levels during the next 1-2 hours.

High-fibre diets tend to be associated with lower postprandial insulin concentrations than low-fibre diets (Jenkins et al, 1977).
