The glucose response to a staple food changes when the plate includes pulses, vegetables, fat, texture, and fibre.
Glucose response
The Glucose Curve Matters
The same carbohydrate quantity can feel different in the body when absorption is fast, moderate, or slowed by meal structure.
Glucose response
