From: Water-soluble polyphenol-rich clove extract lowers pre- and post-prandial blood glucose levels in healthy and prediabetic volunteers: an open label pilot study

Fig. 3

In both normal and prediabetic individuals, PCE supplementation decreased postprandial blood glucose. After the initial day of the study, subjects consumed one PCE capsule immediately after finishing lunch each day for the duration of the study and postprandial glucose was measured 2 h after the start of lunch. Postprandial plasma glucose levels were measured and recorded on days 1 (initial), 12, 24, and 30 (a, c). We plotted individual study subject plasma glucose levels for the initial day and day 30 of the study (b, d). Data shown are mean ± SD for a and c. We calculated statistical significance (*, p ≤ 0.05; **, p ≤ 0.01) by comparing glucose levels measured at each time point to the initial value using a two-tailed t-test in GraphPad Prism 5.0 software
