Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Statistical differences concerning capillary blood glucose levels between A30 and REST and/or A15+15 and REST and/or A30 and A15+15. ;Found outcome 1: No statistical differences concerning capillary blood glucose levels between A30 and REST and/or A15+15 and REST and/or A30 and A15+15. Lower capillary blood glucose levels (pooled data from day 1 and day 2, six measurements each day) were observed in A15+15 than in REST. (1) A15+15 decreased fasting values in D2 (2) the performance of A15+15 reduced postprandial CBG levels after lunch and dinner in D1 and after dinner in D2, and (3) the performance of A30 reduced CBG levels after dinner in D2. | — |
