I agree, my understanding is that low GI is less likely to result in blood glucose spikes. However none of that matters if your A1C is already high and your body is experiencing insulin resistance. Modern dietary routines result in this condition inevitably at an age that depends on dietary choices and activity levels. I would guess that a majority of the population equates an empty stomach with hunger, but hunger from a biological perspective is very different. The default state is no food processing, with fatty acid metabolism to maintain blood ketones and glucose levels. Very few people are hypoglycemic until insulin resistance causes their body to malfunction.
