Chewing gum and blood sugar


(Jeremiah ) #1

God’s blessings to you this morning my ketonian family hey trying to get some opinions on this gum as I’m avid gum chewer and can’t risk my BS to spike. This gum only has 1 gram of natural sugar so if anyone has tried this or had other suggestions I’d be very grateful!:pray:

Personally I won’t have anything that has sugar listed as an ingredient, but it’s your decision.

If you’re an avid gum chewer this is probably not what you want to hear, but I would be more concerned with triggering insulin. I don’t have time to look it up right now but I bet someone has studied this. I think just the anticipation of food can make insulin go up.

I’m sure I’ve heard that too @Madeleine
Best to kick the habit once and for all.
