Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| blood glucose | 120 min | concentration of blood glucose |
| insulin | 120 min | concentration of circulating insulin |
| C-peptide | 120 min | concentration of circulating C-peptide |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Food intake (grams and kcal) | 120 min | ad libitum food intake at 120 min measured with a test meal (grams consumed converted to kilocalories). |
| Subjective appetite | 0-120 min | Four patterns of subjective appetite were measured using 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS): desire to eat, hunger, fullness, and prospective food consumption at 0 min (immediately before the snack), 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and immediately before the test meal at 120 min.
