Paul Saladino MD podcast
The Effects of Low Carbohydrates on Insulin Resistance
During states of low carbohydrate consumption, the body does something which is natural called physiologic insulin resistance at the level of the muscle or glucose sparing. When we increase the amount of fat in our diet, and when we decrease the amount of carbohydrates, there are different signals from the adipose tissue because of declining levels of insulin. And so pregnant women who are doing a glucose tolerance test or a glucose in the next day should not be doing a low carb meal or they can do a low car meal if they want to. But if you do, if a pregnant woman does a lowCarb meal the night before a glucoseolerance test, they can look insulin resistant the next day.
