the type of strategy in which nutrient intake is timed with specific training patterns. Reducing carbohydrates and then increasing them is a type of carbohydrate/glycogen loading.

Solvency ratio
Financial ratio that assesses a company’s ability to meet its long-term financial obligations by comparing its total assets to its total liabilities. It is an important measure of a company’s financial health and stability.
Acid- test ratio
Acid-test ratio (also known as quick ratio) measures a company’s ability to pay off its current liabilities with its most liquid assets, such as cash and marketable securities, without selling its inventory.
Quasi-experimental designs
used when randomization is not feasible
rely on pre-existing groups (schools, communities)
compare outcomes before and after intervention
sometimes non-equivalent control group designs, in which a control group is used, but the groups are not randomly assigned
less expensive
Sulfonylureas
oral anti-diabetic drugs, type 2 DM
stimulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells
can cause hypoglycemia, weight gain, GI side effects (nausea and diarrhea), cardiovascular events
Biguanides
oral anti-diabetic drug, type 2 DM
reduce glucose production in the liver and improve insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues
lower risk of hypoglycemia, weight loss or minimal weight gain, or GI issues
CAN cause rare side effect= lactic acidosis (those with renal impairment more at risk)
