In this Breakfast Series, I’m having popular breakfast items that we all eat, to see which ones increase blood sugar by how much, so I can take an informed decision on what to eat.
.
My personal aim:
– Ideal blood sugar increase after eating = 30mg/dl or lower
– Maximum absolute blood sugar level after eating = 140mg/dl
– Be within 70-120mg/dl for 90% of the day

Please note: Each person should do their own research and consult a medical professional.

Research today shows that high blood sugar variability, in the long term, can lead a vast variety of health issues including weight gain (See the work of Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Michael Snyder & Jessie Inchauspé among others). My aim is to track blood sugar variability and to stay within normal sugar levels as much as possible. And I’m sharing my experiences.
.
Please do note: I’m not a diabetic, or even a pre-diabetic. And I hope to stay that way by avoiding insulin resistance. These are my continuous glucose monitor readings (CGM), and everyone’s readings can be different. Ideally, each person should test food items on themselves individually to see how their body reacts. Finally, in addition to glucose spikes, calories & quality of ingredients also matter.
