Figure 1.
24-hour glycemic variations drug-naïve, type 2 diabetic patients.
A) All patients (n = 30). B) Low-HbA1c group (n = 15) and high-HbA1c group (n = 15), Low-HbA1c group: HbA1c 5.7–7.3%, High-HbA1c group: HbA1c 7.8–12.6%. C) Four groups according to HbA1c levels:1 (<7.0%, n = 8), 2 (7.0–7.9%, n = 8), 3 (8.0–8.9%, n = 8), and 4 (≥9%, n = 6).

Patient profile and the summary for glycemic variations by the median HbA1c value of 7.6%.
Figure 2.
Correlation between the HbA1c and postprandial glucose increases, and time to postprandial glucose peaks.
a) Correlation between the HbA1c values and the range of glucose increases after breakfast from premeal. b) Correlation between the HbA1c values and the range of glucose increases after lunch from premeal. c) Correlation between the HbA1c values and the range of glucose increases after dinner from premeal. d) Correlation between the HbA1c values and the time to glucose peaks after breakfast. e) Correlation between the HbA1c values and the time to glucose peaks after lunch. f) Correlation between the HbA1c values and the time to glucose peaks after dinner. Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used to examine correlation between any 2 variables.
