Understanding Blood Sugar Spikes and Insulin Resistance

When you consume simple carbohydrates, they quickly break down into glucose, triggering a sharp rise in blood sugar. In response, the pancreas releases insulin to usher glucose into cells for energy. When this system is overstimulated, cells become desensitized to insulin, leading to glucose accumulation in the bloodstream. Swapping cane sugar for low-glycemic sweeteners protects your pancreas, helps regulate insulin sensitivity, and prevents mid-day fatigue crashes.
