Tweetable Quotes “So the whole reason that blood sugar spikes when you eat different types of foods is because of the ease, or difficulty, that your body has digesting it.” (03:01) (Dr. Brian) “The longer it takes for your body to digest any type of carbohydrate, it’s gonna take longer for it to absorb. Therefore, the blood sugar is gonna be spread over a long period of time.” (05:10) (Dr. Brian) “It’s like little temporary short episodes of diabetes where the blood sugar spikes and then gets brought back down. But imagine if somebody is eating a lot of foods that cause a lot of blood sugar spikes. Those can be cumulative and add up and over time, even without diabetes, can cause some problems. So, we’re gonna talk about that.” (06:59) (Dr. Brian) “Even though you might be eating a high glycemic food, you can actually blunt the blood sugar response by combining it with a lower glycemic index, or GI, food.” (09:15) (Dr. Brian) Resources Mentioned NCHS Links Mentioned NCHS Footer Powered by FullCast
