A member asked:
Do you think i should eat more carbs before to avoid low blood glucose levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: Protein and fat are metabolized slowly and turned into the necessary sugar your body needs. In contrast, starches and sugars (carbs) are absorbed quickly, releaqse insulin, which then will causes blood sugars to rapidly fall.
