Blood sugar spikes are increases in blood sugar to 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) or higher after a meal. Such spikes are very common in people with diabetes or prediabetes, but also occur in those without diabetes or prediabetes. In this blog post, I am discussing six evidence-based dietary strategies that lower the blood sugar response after a meal and help avoid blood sugar spikes, all without reducing total carbohydrate intake.
