KINETIC GLUCOSE & INSULIN SIMULATOR
Blood Glucose Curve (0-180 min)
High (GL ≥ 20)
Clinical insights:
High glycemic load causes a rapid rise in blood sugar levels. An excellent choice immediately after exhausting strength or running workouts, but consider adding fiber for daily meals.

Actual impact of the consumed carbohydrate portion (50g) on blood glucose levels.
💡 What is Glycemic Load (GL)?
GL combines carbohydrate quality (GI) with the actual quantity in a portion. Values under 10 are low (steady energy, metabolic protection), 10–19 moderate, and ≥20 high (prompting a steep glucose rise).
Glycemic Index (GI):
60
Estimated peak time:
45 min
Peak glucose concentration:
~151.7 mg/dL

-2% of peak
🛡️ Role of Fat & Fiber Buffer
Dietary fiber and lipids slow gastric emptying and enzymatic carbohydrate breakdown, facilitating steady glucose absorption and avoiding excessive insulin secretion.
