Isn't the claim of the parent article that _lower_ blood glucose and insulin levels decrease self control? So wouldn't all of those work in the wrong direction?

- peregrine 17y agoHe did offer solutions to lower blood sugar, but he also provided solutions to increase blood sugar sensitivity and told you to eat much better carbs. Tubers, Rice, etc etc.
- enra 17y agoEating too much or only carbs will spike your blood glucose and insulin production. After the carbs are gone your glucose level starts to decline pretty fast since there is too much insulin. It's better to eat more fat/protein and keep the glucose levels more stable than ride a rollercoaster.
- jackchristopher 17y agoYes it's counterintuitive. Chronically high insulin (insensitivity) is bad. But chronically low is bad also. Many (probably most) people have the former. So in the blood they have free floating insulin chasing nonexistent glucose, screwing their metabolism. I recommended fewer carbs (and other measures) would lead to higher sensitivity; better blood glucose control. EDIT: I second enra's comment.
