    This is interesting, although you can look it up in every diabetes guide or learn it during therapy class (in Germany at least, I learned it 29 years ago). I never tested it because it also depends on the degree of ripeness of the fruit, the time of the day you make the test, as woman on the day of the hormonal cycle and on other parameter which have effect on the blood sugar level of that day, like stress, sport and so on. But the general ranking from berries to grapes and watermelon is correct.

    • @PracticalHealthNow
      @PracticalHealthNow 2 дні тому

      Cecilia, great points, and I totally agree with you! There are many factors that can influence the magnitude and duration of blood sugar spikes. This isn't a scientific ranking by any means. My goal is to raise awareness about blood sugar spikes, how to manage them, and to combat the growing global diabetes pandemic...

    • @zbady4595
      @zbady4595 2 дні тому

      Although what you say is true and should be taken into consideration, i believe this ranking could still be very useful as a scale or proportional representation, and could be applied case-by-case by taking your specific measurements into account 👍

      Good point! I don't know for sure, I haven't seen solid studies, but I suspect I'm not unique in this. And that many people who are technically "healthy" still experience blood sugar spikes due to issues with insulin management.
