How does a carb-rich vs. low-carb diet affect your blood sugar? Dr. Unwin did a simple experiment to investigate this, where he measured how his blood glucose responds to the two different diets.
The picture above shows his blood sugar after a high-carb breakfast. 10.2 mmol/L (184 mg/dl) is almost diabetic high, and even double compared to his pre-meal value. Not so good, given that this is the recommended diet for diabetics.
So what happened after a low-carb meal instead?
5.9 mmol/L (106 mg/dl). Nice and stable!
