  1. One participant was excluded for glucose and insulin values because of a recent stop of blood glucose lowering medication for diabetes prevention. Two participants refused to do the OGTT at post-program assessment and only fasting values were available. Data includes one same sex couple
  2. BMI body mass index, HOMA-IR Homeostasis model-assessment-estimated insulin resistance, ISI 0,120 insulin sensitivity index
