Modifiable Factors Affecting the Postprandial Glycemic Response.
Journal of diabetes science and technology
2026: 19322968261418614
Abstract
The postprandial glycemic response (PPGR) is associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease and is highly individualized. The PPGR is affected by both physiological and behavioral factors. Attention to the PPGR has dramatically increased recently with the widespread use of continuous glucose monitors. It is expected that individualized control of PPGRs will be important in the prevention of diabetes and its associated complications. In this article, we discuss six modifiable factors associated with the PPGRs, including (1) the glucoregulatory hormones, (2) gastric emptying, (3) salivary or pancreatic amylase, (4) diet, (5) physical exercise, and (6) sleep and circadian rhythm. Modifying these factors may allow for personalized intervention strategies to control the PPGR-to reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease in individuals with varying degrees of glycemia.
