Hi folks,
is anybody using either of the above, and if so, what effects are they having on BG?
In short; and I'm happy to be corrected on this.. MCT's provide Energy to the body that's easily accessible but without carbohydrate or protein ( it's a fat).. The idea being reduce carb but still have fuel in the tank and in theory avoid bg spikes.. Waxy maize starch is a fast acting carb and had been likened to bread interms of insulin spike.. Free from sugar and lactose and rapid digestion. I have no idea on its in body life or affect on bg yet.. It may provide useful to control hypo or pre sleep if low figures.
Any one got any further research or own use stories on these things.. Fyi both products arrived for me today so I will be trailing them anyhow and happy to feed back..
