Interesting CLKD but nothing to do with how most people should regulate their blood sugar, especially menopausal women. I commented on your other post on the other thread before I had seen this so will repeat what I said here, not that I think anyone would follow these suggestions. We do not need to stuff ourselves full of high energy carbs (even slow release ones), as the first go-to food to stabilise blood sugar. This will cause insulin spikes (less with the slow release carbs) and exacerbate the problem. There is plenty of information about how to do this that is not for athletes.
What I said on the other thread:
"CLKD what pro-athletes take/eat/drink to give them quick energy for their strenuous exertions bear no relation to the rest of us in our normal activites.We should most definitely not eat Mars bars nor drink energy drinks nor look to what athletes do, if we want to keep our blood sugar levels stable, however interesting this may be!"
Key for normal people and especially women: like I said on the other thread. Cut out sugar and refined carbs as much as possible, as well as sugary drinks (including excess fruit juices and smoothies). Replace with complex carbs and whole foods/grain, as well as whole fruits, veg nuts and seeds, pulses etc and low fat high protein foods. get to know your body and when you tend to get low blood sugar feelings. Make sure you eat sufficient foods of the right quantity to avoid this. Have a good breakfast!!
