A teaspoon of Sugar
The simplest way to take the load off the pancreas is to decrease the fast carbs that trigger insulin.
Limiting these fast carbs is the first thing to do
When your blood sugar is normal, only a single teaspoon of glucose is circulating.
Many foods contain large amounts of simple carbohydrates (sugars and starches) that convert quickly into glucose.
These fast carbs are easily absorbed and immediately raise your blood glucose requiring a lot of insulin to maintain normal blood sugars.
When you download this infographic, you will see that foods with sugar and flour contain a lot of fast carbs.
For example, that white bagel you may have had for lunch contains the equivalent of 9.2 teaspoons of glucose.
That's 9 times the amount of glucose in your blood!
When you eliminate, decrease or substitute these fast carbs from your diet, the amount of insulin you need decreases.
This is the first step on your path to improving your metabolic health.
