Metabolic adaptation
Improvements in HOMA and Matsuda index did not differ significantly between the HLF and HLC diets.
Both diets can be considered equally effective for improving certain aspects of insulin sensitivity.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
The improvements in HOMA and Matsuda index did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.75 for both).
