This is something I have often wondered as I prepare all the meals in my house. When I test before eating I've been handling food for the previous 60 odd minutes.
It's diffcult for me to test enough to know, so I wondering if anyone who uses a Libre has noticed if there is an effect. I would like to try a Libre but my smart phone is not smart enough.... sad, but true.
Thank you.

Might be worth asking around your friends if someone has an unused old Samsung or such laying about, you might be surprised!I would like to try a Libre but my smart phone is not smart enough.... sad, but true.

I think it is a complex chemical issue where insulin should be released. For me that just isn’t going to happen. Hence the rise.If insulin was triggered by the smell and anticipation of food then wouldn't BG go down rather than up?
The anticipation is triggered in the saliva by the release of amylase enzyme into the saliva. This is generally triggered by chewing or sucking sugary carbs (finger licking good?) but not sure if it is linked to drooling anticipation.Someone mentioned here once that the first phase insulin response can be stimulated by the anticipation of food.
Most T2s have a blunted fist phase response so don't know if that is still the case.
My CGM showed nothing while preparing food btw
Not in my case. The only things apart from food (knowledge from finger testing and libre use) that seem to affect my BGs are exercise (down), illness (up), alcohol (down - I know alcohol is sometimes classed as a food) and ambient temperature (higher = up). It's possible that some or all of these are in play while cooking/preparing but there has never been a noticeable impact.This is something I have often wondered as I prepare all the meals in my house.
