Experts urge healthy adults to ignore blood sugar spikes as normal metabolic response
A new BBC report clarifies that temporary blood sugar rises after eating are a normal physiological process for healthy individuals, not a sign of harm. While wellness influencers often promote the avoidance of all glucose spikes, medical experts argue that brief increases are natural and only concerning if they persist or indicate insulin resistance. The article highlights that continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are unnecessary for non-diabetics and may even distort health perceptions, recommending balanced diets with fiber and protein instead of strict carbohydrate restriction.
