Blood Glucose Curve & Glycemic Index
Recalculating metabolic model...
Portion:
KINETIC GLUCOSE & INSULIN SIMULATOR
Blood Glucose Curve (0-180 min)
Low (GL < 10)
Clinical insights:
High fat and fiber content flattens the glucose peak by up to 48%. Energy is released slowly and steadily, preventing a postprandial crash.
Glycemic Load (GL)
Low (GL < 10)
2.1
/ serving
Actual impact of the consumed carbohydrate portion (4g) 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):
52.5
Estimated peak time:
80 min
Peak glucose concentration:
~92.3 mg/dL
Fat and fiber buffer:
-48% 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.
