A DETAILED PRIMER on NUTRITION and DIABETES:
One of the most common questions I’m asked is how various foods influence risk of developing T2 diabetes (DM). This (long) thread will go through the science
(Evidence on foods to treat DM is broadly similar but won’t be covered here
First, a common mistake is to only consider acute (post-eating) effects on blood glucose (BG). The thinking goes: If a food acutely raises BG, it increases risk; and if it does not, it must be ok.
