Simple Ways to Balance It

💡 Check Your Own Response

Individual blood sugar responses vary. Use a glucose meter to understand how this food affects you personally.

💡 Glycemic Load Over Glycemic Index

GL accounts for both the speed AND amount of carbohydrate, making it more practical for real-world eating than GI alone.

💡 Pair Carbs With Protein

Adding protein to a carbohydrate-containing meal slows digestion and helps prevent blood sugar spikes.

💡 Fiber Is Your Friend

Dietary fiber slows carbohydrate absorption. Aim for at least 3g of fiber per serving of carbohydrate foods.
