24-hour glucose concentrations measured using the Dexcom G6 during the high protein versus the low protein dietary periods
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Fasting glucose concentrations measured using the Dexcom G6 during the high protein versus the low protein dietary periods<br>2. Post-prandial glucose concentrations for 3 hours following a meal (to be identified from the glucose profiles) measured using the Dexcom G6 during the high protein versus the low protein dietary periods<br>3. Mean amplitude of glucose excursions measured using the Dexcom G6 during the high protein versus the low protein dietary periods<br>4.
