12. Will the Netjeru Elixir recipe effect my diabetes?
The reason why Netjeru Elixir with maple syrup, bananas, figs, dates and raisins might not significantly spike blood sugar levels in people with diabetes could be related to several factors:
- Fiber Content: Both bananas and raisins contain dietary fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, potentially reducing blood sugar spikes.
- Type of Sugar in Ingredients: Maple syrup contains sucrose, which is a disaccharide consisting of glucose and fructose. The body metabolizes these sugars at a different rate compared to simple glucose, which might result in a more gradual increase in blood sugar levels.
- Portion Size and Serving: The impact on blood sugar levels can also depend on the quantity of each ingredient used in the elixir. Smaller portions of these sweet ingredients may not raise blood sugar levels as much as larger servings would.
- Overall Glycemic Load: This concept considers both the glycemic index of the food (how quickly foods raise blood sugar levels) and the amount of carbohydrate in the food. Your elixir might have a balanced glycemic load that prevents sharp spikes in blood sugar.
- Combination with Other Foods: If the elixir is consumed with other foods, especially those high in protein or fat, the overall absorption rate of sugars into the bloodstream can be slowed down.
It's important for individuals with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels and consult with healthcare providers to understand how different foods and drinks affect their condition.
