Figure 2 Glucose and Insulin Versus Time After Oral Glucose Load

Glucose (top) and insulin (bottom) versus time after oral glucose load for nondiabetic patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (squares) versus matched healthy control subjects (diamonds). Note the baseline hyperinsulinemia and marked hyperglycemic/hyperinsulinemic responses to glucose loading in the heart failure population. Reproduced, with permission, from Witteles et al. (21).
