Time course curves are indicated for gastric emptying in healthy controls (a) and patients with type 2 diabetes (b) during three different meal sequences: RF, black circles; FR, white circles; or MR, white triangles (a, b). The p values for differences due to sequence (X), time (Y), and the interaction of sequence and time (Z), were calculated by mixed effects models as follows: (a) X0.000, Y0.000 and Z0.000; and (b) X0.000, Y0.000 and Z0.000. Half times for emptying the ingested steamed rice (Time50%) are indicated (RF, black bars; FR, white bars; MR, hatched bars) (c). Time50% was analysed by Wilcoxon’s rank sum test; * and † indicate p < 0.05 for RF vs FR, and RF vs MR, respectively
