Glucose metabolism profile recorded by flash glucose monitoring system in patients with hypopituitarism during prednisone replacement

Figure 3 Comparison of glucose level and area under the curve between patient group and normal controls. A: Glucose level during whole day; B: Glucose level at 0-3 am period; C: Glucose level at 3-8 am period; D: Glucose level after breakfast; E: Glucose level after lunch; F: Glucose level after dinner; G: Area under the curve (AUC) at 0-3 am period and 3-8 am period; H: AUC at postprandial periods. Data are denoted as mean ± SE. ^aP < 0.05. AUC: Area under the curve; PG: Patient group; NCs: Normal controls; BF: Breakfast.
