Figure 6

Daily glycemia the day and the days after the injection. One hour after lunch, the day of the injection (which was performed in the morning), the average glycemia was not different from the control values (161mg/dL, SD= 46.4; p=0.8). Glycemia increased significantly compared to the control values, before dinner (173mg/dL, SD=52.3 versus 132 mg/dL, SD=18.9; p=0.003) and after dinner (186mg/dL SD=54.2 versus 148 mg/dL, SD=42.2; p<0.001). The day after the injection, all glycemic values were significantly different from the control values. Before breakfast glycemia was 157 mg/dL SD= 50.7 (p=0.02), 2 hours after lunch 175 mg/dL SD=69.8 (p=0.03), before dinner 178 mg/dL SD=63.9 (p<0.001), and after dinner 181 mg/dL SD=48.5 (p=0.01).
