Episode notes
Food-Specific Glucose Spikes Reveal Mechanisms
- Different foods revealing glucose spikes point to different underlying metabolic weaknesses rather than a single insulin-resistance type.
- This enables more precise, personalized prevention and treatment strategies for metabolic disease.
Test Foods With CGM Or Glucometer
- Test your personal glucose responses with a CGM or glucometer to learn which foods spike your blood sugar.
- Use those results to tailor diet and interventions rather than relying on one-size-fits-all rules.
Rice Vs Bread Vs Potato Responses Differ
- Rice spikes were common, especially in Asian participants, but not always linked to poor metabolic outcomes.
- Bread and potato spikes correlated more with unhealthy glucose metabolism and insulin resistance.
