[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insulin is spiked to break down sugar. If you don’t consume sugar you can not spike insulin. [/quote] Just stop posting about this topic if you don't know what you are talking about. [/quote] I wear a CGM. It does not spike when I eat small amounts of food with fake sugar - diet soft drinks, sugar free candies, etc. I’ve never eaten a whole bag of sugar free candies, so maybe that would do it? I chew a lot of sugar free gum, that does not raise) my glucose (and thus shouldn’t raise my insulin. Insulin rises as a response to increased blood sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream. That increase in glucose can be caused by a lot of things: carbohydrates, sugar(whether the sugar is in the form of table, sugar, a.k.a. glucose or fruit, sugar, a.k.a. fructose, or milk, sugar, a.k.a. lactose), exercise, stress, and taking a hot shower.[/quote] Anything you eat can be converted to glucose.
