are taken in, food with higher fat/carbohydrate ratio does not significantly change blood glucose levels compared to meals with lower fat/carbohydrate ratio, because fats are of a different biomolecular type than carbohydrates.

The findings in the current study are different from that detected by Volek et al. (2009), which, upon testing several metabolic markers on subjects with atherogenic dyslipidemia exposed to hypo caloric, low-carbohydrate or low-fat diets. According to this study, decreased fat intake decreased blood sugar levels by 17%. This is due to the biochemical process through which fats, especially when at abnormally high levels, may be converted to sugars, thus affecting blood glucose levels of the subject.

Significant differences were not observed in this particular study probably due to the physiological state of the subjects. Specifically, they have normal insulin levels and response. This means that at food intake, the body responds by absorbing these biomolecules to maintain normal levels of glucose in blood. Therefore, even at increased levels of fat, blood glucose remained unchanged at 6 and 12 hours after eating. In addition, the effects of lipid and/or carbohydrate intake on blood sugar levels may have already wore off at 6 and 12 hours after meals.

What is quite striking, however, is the high standard deviation of blood glucose values measured. Standard deviations calculated were at least 45% to as much as 133% of their corresponding mean values. This means that the obtained values were different among subjects, even if they were exposed to the same treatment. Great variations in the measured blood glucose levels may have resulted from differences in age, since older people tend to respond to caloric intake less efficiently than younger people do. In addition, physiological differences among male and female. Specifically, the inherent high muscle mass of males allow them to greater amounts of calories in the same amount of work than
