Can small meal improvements reduce sugar spikes in senior citizens? If yes, it would be great news, as people above 65 are at a much higher risk of developing diabetes, so understanding how to control sugar spikes becomes even more important. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

*Disclaimer:* My parents are not diabetics. Results are different for each person, especially for diabetics. Glycemic load, calories, quality & quantity of food, all of these matter as well. Finally, I am not a doctor & this is not medical advice.
.
*How to see these 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 do these experiments:* 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.
