I Tested These Foods on Blood Sugars (One Word: Shocked!)

[@tna-technutamateur8249]

I had one on once, wanted to see what bread does it to your suger levels (had not touched bread for months). The idea was to compare white bread to whole grain. In theorie It would not make a difference. I had fasted for 16 ours, than had 4 slices of whole grain bread. Got a spike of 200 and a drop to 54. Bread = sugar. No difference with white bread, no difference with thick butter or chees on top. Don't eat bread, it's just sugar.

[@HoLeeFoc]

I found through my personal experience, that the CGM readings were often 20 or more lower than the blood glucose strips readings. Nevertheless, by having both readings, it gave me a picture of where my blood glucose levels were.

[@LillieKane]

Thanks for sharing this! I know that if we take different things (oura ring, cell phone, CGM) while walking, they will all tell us different step counts for our walks as well. I guess we'll never know which one gives the most precise numbers but like you said, they are all pretty close! Thanks again, have a great week!

[@o0laieta0o]

Wow 20 is quite different tho

[@cwood7380]

As a type 1, I've been using cgms for 10 years. They all have a accuracy range of about 40.... this meanings the readings can range from 20 above to 20 below what the number actually is. From a type 1s perspective that's not all that bad. Even the strips have an accuracy range.

[@ronevans6041]

Thank you for your videos. Your positivity and high energy are just infectious. (Better than coffee!) For the 2 weeks you had the CGM, how was that experience in a physical sense? Did you ever bump into things? Was it cumbersome at the gym? What brand did you use? Also interested in the sticker you used to cover the CGM (for when i'm at the gym) Pro's and Con's of that particular CGM? Very curious. Also, as a type 2 diabetic... Your worst numbers are me at my best numbers. LOL. Thanks for this. It's very illuminating.

[@LillieKane]

Hey Ron! Wearing the CGM for the 2 weeks did not impact my day to day. I honestly forgot I was wearing it sometimes. I didn't bump into anything but if you did, that sucker is really stuck on there. The CGM comes with the sticker which was incredibly sticky so even while taking a shower, after 2 weeks, that sticker was just as stuck onto my arm as the first day. The con to using this CGM was having to scan it within 8 hours because I would forget and then it will lose your data if you don't scan it. But if someone is just making sure to scan after each meal or a few times a day, then they wouldn't have this problem. The pros were endless. When you use NutriSense, they assign you a dietitian who sends you regular emails about your CGM results and who guides you all the way. Honestly my dietitians emails were so long and detailed, I was very much impressed. The CGM shows even more data than just blood sugars, it tracks your steps, your sleep score, and more. I went with NutriSense who did give me a $50 off code to give to my subscribers. Use code Lillie50 for $50 off at checkout. Here is the link to their website if you want to check them out: www.nutrisense.io/ Have an awesome day! :D

[@drsvs]

You don’t spike because you are insulin sensitive, muscular, very low body fat, very active. Dr. Paul Mason practices sports medicine. He has many youtube videos. He says top athletes do not show significant spike during glucose tolerance test using 75 g. of glucose. In other words, glucose spikes are a reflection of metabolic health. If you were insulin resistant, your results would be dramatically different. It is the degree of metabolic health that explains the differences in response from person to person.

[@trafferz]

Fantastic! So glad you did this. More data is always helpful. And your numbers are excellent. Gluconeogenesis spiking glucose levels certainly not shown here either.

[@drsvs]

Fructose does not cause insulin response. Only glucose does. It’s the fructose in fruit that causes most of the metabolic damage. Eat it sparingly.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Great video. Yes everyone should do similar experiments. Yes when fat and sugar are mixed will generally cause the highest spikes. Can also have "Dawn effect" spikes. YES spikes can be good. As you found it will spike during times of excitement, stress and exercise yet we know exercise is good. You skipped the glucose readings during sex. Many people find interesting results : )

[@AndersWelander]

Did you ever try restaurant food? I went to a restaurant and had salmon and tried to avoid any obvious carbs on the plate but my blood sugar still shot up like crazy. When I cook at home nothing ever happens to my blood sugar.

Manuka honey does not taste like regular honey. Regular honey is sweeter.

[@YTSparty]

That's a very tight range for blood sugar. My mother had a stroke and I took care of her for the last 5 years of her life. And bought a CGM for her before it was cool. She was diabetic 2 with a horrible A1C. Her doctor put her on metformin which was a horrible poison that not only didn't help with her blood sugar, it caused terrible diarrhea. Her doctor never asked about her diet. I changed her diet to low carbs and brought her A1C down to pre-diabetic with a dramatic change. And she quit metformin. When her blood sugar would spike over 200 which it would do rather easily depending on the food, she would have pain in her legs and other parts of her body. So it's not just "oh this is bad" it also has real consequences in terms of pain. Also, huge spikes in blood sugar cause you to get tired. Which is another problem.

[@stvcolwill]

I totally agree that CGM should be available for anyone who would want to learn what foods and things do to us. It's a tool like none other. Simple learning about how your body works is KEY!! and can lead to better decisions regarding health. I'm living proof of that. My son was diagnosed with Type one a couple of years back and we could never convince him to try the Dexcom that we bought for him right out of the gate. (he's on libre now for years). so I ended up putting it on myself and I truly learned a lot!! (I've been keto/keto-vor for exactly a year now at 56 years old and all six of my heart event risks have reversed! ALL SIX. and that's just from learning what foods actually do to me! (lost 40lbs and have kept it off for the entire year as well). CGMS should NOT require a dr's Prescription. I just got one a couple of months ago without a prescription from SaveRite (libre2).

Your videos have progressed so much it’s been fun to watch. Your attitude is also uplifting so it’s easy to watch. Thanks for that experiment. That had to be tough to stay on top of.

[@LillieKane]

I'm sure the stomach pain and constipation feeling was because my body isn't used to having that much fiber in one time but I'm sure if I continually did it, then my body would learn to digest and process the fruit/fiber better. I don't think the dandruff would improve though. Thanks for the kind message! Hope you make today a good one!

[@seanveach950]

I have found the CGMs to be off on actual numbers quite a bit, but I look at the trends. They also lag by a bit because how they don't read the actual blood. Mine kept setting off the low sugar alarm and I am very sure my sugar was not that low.....

maybe your fast transition from keto to high carb give you this results

[@desmomotodesmomoto2033]

So, our bodies can process glucose quickly, even if we are using ketones for energy, (Ketone adapted) and glucose does not linger in blood and goes right into our cells. So, switching from different sources of energy is easy to do for our bodies, and we don't have to be "adapted" to use different sources of energy. Right? Now, I have a question, if we eat fat and sugar together, can glucose monitor, recognize glucose attached to fat molecule in the blood? I wonder if you eat lots of fat and fruits at the same time, what would the monitor show? Also, if the reading is accurate, if monitor, cannot recognize the glucose that has attached to fat molecules or not?

[@wesleygaitan]

Carbs are good for you, it's about balance. My sweet spot is 150g to 200g

[@LillieKane]

The CGM wouldn't be able to recognize glucose attached to the fat molecule in the blood. As far as what would the monitor show, you could always test just eating meat and seeing what the monitor shows, then just eat fruit and seeing what the CGM show, and then eating both meat and fruit and seeing the results :)
