Capillary blood glucose concentration
Six capillary blood glucose tests were performed in each study intervention. Time 0 (zero) was the basal measurement, and the others were performed in the postprandial period at 15, 30, 90 and 120 minutes.
Time frame: In the 3 interventions, completed in 3 weeks.
Insulin Concentration
Two plasma insulin tests were performed in each study intervention. Time 0 (zero) was the basal measurement, and the other was at the peak of the postprandial period, considered at 60 minutes.
Time frame: In the 3 interventions, completed in 3 weeks.
