The new glucose diet book, any experiences?

There was a podcast that I accessed via the Zoe study from Sarah Berry who also discussed the same thing. Worth a watch but was a bit longwinded. Sorry I’m not computer literate enough to give you all a link. The gist was that the fibre and fat controlled and flattened the sugar spike caused by carbs, in anybody’s diet not just diabetics. They seemed to recommend a starter containing the fibre and vinaigrette dressing or whatever before the main meal rather than splitting meals into components and spoiling the fun in eating.
 
My only issue with her is that I wish she used the actual Libre/Dexcom profiles & not the cartoon filtered versions she uses

Hi @Garrick and anyone else following this thread, Jessie Inchauspé (Glucose Goddess) is a scientist and all of her glucose spike hacks, (not just the eat your veggies first, and ACV) are based of scientific studies by others, she's not randomly making it up and testing herself!

95% of the time I eat salad, (or a babybel at breakfast), before the rest of my lowish carb (15-25g) meal, coat my sweet carbs after my main meal, eg. berries with cream and try to be active for at least 10 minutes, even if not able to go for a full on walk, after every meal. I have been doing this for the last 90 days or so, the same time as I started on Libre, and I definitely see bigger spikes when I don't eat salad first or don't get to exercise within an hour of eating.

Although not a diabetic handbook, she does reference diabetes, PCOS and other inflammatory diseases which are widely know to be affected by glucose spikes.

I don't know whether my pretty stable BG is due to following the hacks, or my own self-discipline, maybe just luck of a pancreas still hanging on and playing ball nicely, but I don't have the nerve to stop now :bookworm: My Libre at 90 days is giving me an estimated 5.2%/33mmol/mol HbA1c, and my scans are always at least 0.5 higher than finger pricking.

Would be interested to see how you get on @Garrick :watching:
