I came across this today. https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/66/5/1264/4655967 Which measured both glucose and insulin responses to various foods of equal calorific amounts.
Now it’s an older study, small in size but it raised some interesting points. Eg many foods do not match in glucose and insulin response and equal carbs does not mean equal responses (we all know some items hit us harder on the meter than others do “or personal kryptonite”) and the biggest shock to me was that beef has a big insulin response despite lower glucose response.
So this has left me with some questions I simply can’t answer, not least because I can’t measure my insulin responses, about which foods might be adding to my insulin resistance and hyperinsulemia as a type 2.
anyone able to add anything to the reading of this study? I am a bit confused when it talks about pre prandial insulin doses for NIDDM (non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) patients, surely a contradiction?
