EP125: Tea with Stevia & My Blood Sugar Levels | Sweetener Series - The Sugar Spike Show

In this ‘Sweetener Series’, I want to see if natural sweeteners like honey, gur (jaggery) & desi khand lead to a lower sugar spike compared to white sugar, and if calorie free sweeteners really work. Let’s get to the bottom of this. . This series is a part of The Sugar Spike Show, a micro series on reels & shorts, where I show the impact of popular foods & drinks on my blood sugar and find ways to reduce the spike. . Important: I am not a diabetic, and everyone's readings can be different, especially for diabetics. . How to see my results: Best is to see how different food items compare with each other as an indication, rather than looking at absolute numbers. . Why am I doing this if I’m not a diabetic? - Prevention is the best medicine. Research today shows that high blood sugar variability eventually leads to a variety of health issues among healthy people including diabetes, heart disease, weight gain and so on (See the work of Dr. Rob Lustig, Dr. Casey Means, Dr. Michael Snyder, Jessie Inchauspé etc.). Hence, it’s best to know how foods increase blood sugar relative to each other, so better decisions can be made. . My personal aim: 1. Blood sugar increase after eating = 30mg/dl or lower 2. Max. blood sugar level after eating = 140mg/dl 3. Range = Be within 70-120mg/dl for 90% of the day . Please note: I am not a doctor & this is not medical advice Results can vary by 10-15% if I try on another day Calories & quality of ingredients are as important Sensor I use: Abbott Freestyle Libre
