Disclaimer: I’m not a diabetic. Results are different for each person, especially for diabetics & can change from recipe to recipe. My own results vary a little day to day. Ideally, each person should test on themselves. Glycemic load, calories, quality & quantity of food, all of these matter. Finally, I am not a doctor & this is not medical advice.
.
How to see my results: Best is to get an idea of which foods spike more and which ones spike less, and develop an intuition based on ingredients. Don’t focus on absolute numbers.
.
Why I’m doing this if I’m not a diabetic: I’ve noticed that having steady glucose levels makes me feel good & I get lesser food cravings. Plus, prevention is the best medicine. Research today shows that high blood sugar variability over time can lead to diabetes, heart disease & obesity. Please see the work of Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Michael Snyder & Jessie Inchauspé.
.
My personal aim:
1. Blood sugar increase after eating = 30-40mg/dl or lower
2. Return to baseline = Within 3 hours
3. Range = Be within 70-120mg/dl for 80% of the day
