Impact on Glycemic Variation Caused by a Change in the Dietary Intake Sequence.

This work presents an analysis of the effect on glycemic variation caused by modifying the macronutrient intake sequence in a person without a diagnosis of diabetes. In this work, three types of nutritional studies were developed: (1) glucose variation under conditions of daily intake (food mixture); (2) glucose variation under conditions of daily intake modifying the macronutrient intake sequence; (3) glucose variation after a modification in the diet and macronutrient intake sequence. The focus of this research is to obtain preliminary results on the effectiveness of a nutritional intervention based on the modification of the sequence of macronutrient intake in a healthy person during 14-day periods. The results obtained corroborate the positive effect on the glucose of consuming vegetables, fiber, or proteins before carbohydrates, decreasing the peaks in the postprandial glucose curves (vegetables: 113-117 mg/dL; proteins: 107-112 mg/dL; carbohydrates: 115-125 mg/dL) and reducing the average levels of blood glucose concentrations (vegetables: 87-95 mg/dL; proteins: 82-99 mg/dL; carbohydrates: 90-98 mg/dL). The present work demonstrates the preliminary potential of the sequence in the macronutrient intake for the generation of alternatives of prevention and solution of chronic degenerative diseases, improving the management of glucose in the organism and permeating in the reduction of weight and the state of health of the individuals.

Dynamic of Glucose Homeostasis in Virtual Patients: A Comparison between Different Behaviors.

This work presents a mathematical model of homeostasis dynamics in healthy individuals, focusing on the generation of conductive data on glucose homeostasis throughout the day under dietary and physical activity factors. Two case studies on glucose dynamics for populations under conditions of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle were developed. For this purpose, two types of virtual populations were generated, the first population was developed according to the data of a total of 89 physical persons between 20 and 75 years old and the second was developed using the Monte Carlo approach, obtaining a total of 200 virtual patients. In both populations, each participant was classified as an active or sedentary person depending on the physical activity performed. The results obtained demonstrate the capacity of virtual populations in the generation of in-silico approximations similar to those obtained from in-vivo studies. Obtaining information that is only achievable through specific in-vivo experiments. Being a tool that generates information for the approach of alternatives in the prevention of the development of type 2 Diabetes.
