A new study reveals that one’s metabolic health determines how blood sugar responds to certain carbohydrates. Researchers at Stanford Medicine, US, suggest creating personalized prevention treatment strategies for prediabetes and diabetes based on a patient’s blood sugar response patterns.The study published in Nature Medicine involved 55 participants who had no history of type 2 diabetes and who underwent metabolic testing. Metabolic health conditions include insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction, which can lead to diabetes. Beta cells produce the hormone insulin in the pancreas, which helps convert glucose in the blood to energy.
