During a diagnostic investigation for metabolic function, clinicians measured the blood glucose concentrations of three individuals (XXX, YYY, and ZZZ) after an overnight 12-hour fast, and again 2 hours after they consumed a standardized oral dose of 75 g of glucose.
| Individual | Blood glucose concentration after 12-hour fast (mmol dm−3\text{mmol dm}^{-3}mmol dm−3) | Blood glucose concentration 2 hours after oral glucose load (mmol dm−3\text{mmol dm}^{-3}mmol dm−3) |
|---|---|---|
| Individual X | 4.5 | 6.2 |
| Individual Y | 5.3 | 9.8 |
| Individual Z | 7.8 | 13.1 |
Compare the blood glucose concentration of Individual Y with the blood glucose concentration of Individual X, 2 hours after the oral glucose load.
