The Role of Whole Food Plant-Based Food Intake on Postprandial Glycemia in Type 1 Diabetes
Primary result · TIRResult — go to the resultImprovement in TIR 4%Authors' conclusion
Meal events with higher hPDI were associated with 4% postprandial TIR improvement. These benefits were seen primarily in WFPBD meals (captured by hPDI) and less pronounced plant-based meals (captured by PDI), emphasizing the benefit of increasing unprocessed food intake over limiting animal products alone.
