Blood Glucose Spikes: When to be Worried and How to Prevent Them
 
Blood Glucose Spikes: When to be Worried and How to Prevent Them

Marty Kendall and Dr Ted Naiman have been explaining why flat-line blood glucose should not be a goal for years, but an Instagram cutie gets the press about drinking ACV and "clothing your carbs"

Quote:
It gets worse…her idea of ‘clothing carbs with fat’ just to make your acute glucometer curve look flatter is a complete nightmare scenario pretty much guaranteed to increase caloric consumption both passively and hedonically thanks to carbs+fat+high energy density. Not good.


This is another new article about where the Glucose Goddess advice goes wrong and how to manage the "area under the curve". When staying very low carb and high fat + high energy density, many will stall or regain pounds before reaching their ideal body weight.

Summary

Large glucose spikes are typically a symptom of poor metabolic health. Reducing the amount your glucose rises by reducing the carbohydrates in your diet can be helpful to achieve normal glucose variability.

But to address the root cause of metabolic syndrome, you need to reduce the area under the curve glucose and insulin response after you eat.

A lower premeal glucose before you eat will ensure you are tapping into your stored glucose and fat, leading to fat loss, improved metabolic health and, thus, lower glycemic variability.



There are a number of links to good articles that support this;

What Is the Best Way to Fix Insulin Resistance?

Reducing carbohydrates will help reduce your blood glucose and even your HbA1c. But this may only be symptom management. Unless you reduce your body fat levels, you won’t address the root cause of insulin resistance: energy toxicity.

Insulin’s main role is to keep your energy reserves tucked away in storage. However, once you exceed what we know as your Personal Fat Threshold, your body struggles to produce enough insulin to do its job.

As a result, excess energy overflows into your bloodstream and registers on your meter as high blood glucose, ketones, and fatty acids. So, to fix your insulin resistance, you need to address the root cause.
