Fig. 3: Relationships between the glycaemic responses to oral glucose and mixed meals and gastric half-emptying time of a glucose drink in newly diagnosed, treatment-naive, Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Relationships of (i) the incremental areas under the curves (iAUCs) for plasma glucose between t = 0–60 min, t = 0–90 min, and t = 0–120 min after 75 g oral glucose (A–C) and (ii) the iAUCs for interstitial glucose, measured by continuous glucose monitoring, between t = 0–30 min, t = 0–60 min, and t = 0–120 min after breakfast (D–F) and dinner (G–I), with the gastric half-emptying time (T50) of 75 g oral glucose drink in newly diagnosed, treatment-naive, Chinese patients with T2D (n = 55).
