How glycaemic index affects blood sugar and discover practical guidance on low-GI foods, meal choices and healthier eating for diabetes management.
Refined carbohydrates can raise blood sugar quickly, but portion size, fibre, protein and overall meal balance matter more than banning individual foods. Dietitian advice on carbohydrates often gets boiled down to a simple rule: avoid white bread and white rice.…
A large primary care trial found continuous glucose monitors significantly improved blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes who do not use insulin, potentially influencing future treatment guidelines and coverage. Continuous glucose monitors could reshape day-to-day diabetes care…
A small Houston pilot found that culturally adapted cooking lessons paired with lifestyle coaching were well received and may strengthen the link between programme attendance and weight loss. A pilot study from Houston suggests that culturally tailored cooking classes may…

A Kyoto University study in mice suggests eating olive oil before carbohydrates may delay gastric emptying and blunt the early post-meal blood sugar spike, but researchers say human trials are needed. Eating olive oil before carbohydrates may slow the rate…
Long fermentation may make sourdough easier for some people to digest, lower its blood sugar impact and improve mineral absorption , but it is not a probiotic and portion size still matters. Sourdough’s appeal goes well beyond taste. According to…
