This study investigated the relationship between gastric emptying (GE) of a glucose drink and glycemic response in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Fifty-five treatment-naive Chinese adults with newly diagnosed T2D underwent continuous glucose monitoring and a 75g glucose drink test. Results showed an inverse relationship between glucose drink GE half-emptying time (T50) and glycemic response to both the glucose drink and mixed meals (breakfast and dinner). However, GE was unrelated to antecedent glycemic control. The study concludes that GE, measured using a standard glucose drink, predicts glycemic response to various meals in T2D, independent of prior glycemic levels.
