It’s not what you eat, it’s how you eat it
In the past five years, there’s been major research in this area. In a seminal Stanford University study from 2018, 20 people with normal blood glucose levels – i.e. not people with diabetes – were given a bowl of cornflakes with milk, while wearing a glucose monitor. The effect of this ‘normal’ breakfast on their blood sugar levels was shocking.
If you have one of the glucose-related conditions previously mentioned, you’ll already know your blood sugar is dysregulated, but there are a lot of less obvious symptoms, Inchauspé says."These are an 11am or 3pm crash, not sleeping very well, cravings all the time, difficulty losing weight, and any visible inflammation such as swelling, acne or redness."
Her physical recovery took months, but the mental effects lasted longer. She was diagnosed with depersonalisation-derealisation disorder, a type of PTSD."I felt like a stranger in my own body," she says. Its genius is that it reveals in real time exactly how your food and drink affect your blood sugar. Inchauspé began noticing her mental health was less stable when her blood glucose was on a rollercoaster.
Wanting to share what was working for her, she created @GlucoseGoddess on Instagram. It was when she wrote the code to translate data from the monitor into graphs – compelling visual proof of how the body reacts to changes in diet – that her account took off. She began to turn the study results into eating hacks"that you can use every day, no matter what you eat".And so, for the past three years, Inchauspé has been a walking, eating, Instagram-posting experiment.
