Authors' conclusion

Our study shows that carrying the risk G allele of MTNR1B-rs10830963 is associated with greater glycaemic responses after consuming a diet with high carbohydrates and high GI levels. Reducing GI in a high-carbohydrate diet may decrease post-OGTT glucose concentrations among the risk G-allele carriers.
