9. Summary *TODAY*
.
Do parathas really cause a massive sugar spike? And if they do, which one gives the lowest spike of them all? Let’s get to the bottom of these questions and find out once and for all! Also, in this series, I’m only covering stuffed parathas. I’ll do methi parathas, namak ajwain parathas and so on, in another series.

*Disclaimer:* I’m not a diabetic. Results are different for each person, especially for diabetics. My own results vary a little each day. 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 see trends & develop an intuition on how to eat different foods so that sugar spikes can be lowered. Don’t focus on absolute numbers. Ideally, you should do tests on yourself to get the most personalised results.
.
*Why I’m doing this if I’m not a diabetic:* Ever notice that lifestyle recommendations that doctors that give to diabetes & cardiac patients are actually applicable to all of us? That’s because doctors know that prevention is the best medicine! Research today shows that lower and fewer sugar spikes in a day reduces the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease & PCOS. Please see the work of Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Michael Snyder & Dr. Annette Bosworth.

My personal aim (Source: https://www.levels.com/blog/what-should-my-glucose-levels-be-ultimate-guide)
1. Ideal post meal blood sugar increase = 30mg/dl or lower
2. Eat next meal when the previous increase has flattened
