Is it conclusively proven that glucose spikes influence the risk of T2D by a big margin? Like imo calorie balance is more influential than glucose spike. This is all assuming that you are currently healthy. I don't think spiking blood glucose is a good idea of you are diabetic
- nradov 2y agoThere is no conclusive proof that occasional blood glucose spikes by themselves significantly increase the risk of T2D. In particular we know that the stress hormones produced during high intensity exercise cause temporary spikes by stimulating glucose release from the liver. But we have fairly good evidence that such exercise actually decreases the risk of T2D. Insulin resistance seems to be triggered more by chronic elevation of blood glucose and not clearing the spikes quickly enough.
