A member asked:
Why does the level of plasma glucose rise after a meal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food is energy: Eating food will provide your body with energy to function. Simple sugars will increase the blood sugar quickly. Carbs and starches will increase it more slowly. Proteins will have the least impact on blood sugar.
