Personalised Glycemic Response: The Secret to Better Diabetes Control

Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed with diabetes or been living with it for a while now, chances are that you’ve come across unsolicited advice. ‘Have chapati instead of rice’, ‘give up mithais’, ‘please stay away from mangoes’ – and the list goes on.

While we’re not discrediting anyone’s advice, here’s what we want you to know – what works for someone else might not work for you.

Each one of us is unique – our bodies, our genetics, our health history – all of it. Making the need for unique treatment plans imperative.

Different treatment plans for different people – why is it so important!

In a human being, blood sugar levels are very tightly controlled between 70-150 mg/dl by various hormones. This is essential as glucose is the fuel for most body functions.

Whenever we eat, it is digested in the intestine, and glucose is released into the blood leading to a rise in blood glucose levels.

This rise in blood glucose depends on the amount of carbohydrates and rate of digestion of the food consumed- this is called Glycemic response.

While glycemic response is a very generalized term, what we should actually talk about is the ‘personalized glycemic response’.

Personalised glycemic response is the different glycemic responses between two people for the same food.

As shown in the image above, your glycemic response differs from food to food and also differs when compared to someone else eating the same food.

Your genes, muscle mass, age, gut bacteria and even the pancreatic reserve of hormones are the reason for these differences.

Personalised glycemic response is the secret ingredient to good diabetes control – one that’s someone been ignored to date.

How personalised glycemic response helps control diabetes

Understanding personalised glycemic response can help us identify the list of top foods that are good and bad for your blood sugar control.

With this personalized glycemic response-based blood sugar report in hand, you can get a personalized diet plan. This diet plan would include more of the good foods and try to eliminate the bad foods as much as possible.

Following a personalized diet plan instead of the run-of-the-mill generic plan has shown better diabetes control!

And no, this isn’t science fiction. It is very much possible, and you can get your hands on a personalized glycemic response-based diabetes management program as well.
