Here's his results: ⏰ 5 minutes: 36 mg/dl ⏰ 35 minutes: 26 mg/dl Studies have shown that people who eat quickly have a 54% increased risk for metabolic syndrome.

Dried vs. fresh mango: you might think the only difference is water content, but there’s more to it when it comes to your glucose levels.🥭 Justin put both options to the test, and here are his results: 🥭 Fresh Mango: 24 mg/dl 🥭 Dried Mango: 37 mg/dl While both dried and fresh mangoes have similar nutrients, dried mangoes are a more concentrated source of sugar. This means they can spike glucose levels more and aren’t as filling as fresh mangoes. Fresh fruits are often the better choice over processed options like juice or dried fruit. That said, dried mango can be a convenient snack when you’re on the go. Just treat it as a sugary indulgence and enjoy it in moderation! . . . #cgm #continuousglucosemonitor #signos #bloodsugar #glucose #weightloss #glucosespike

Did you know this? 🤯 Eating your foods in a particular order has proven benefits and can play a crucial role in fat loss and reducing glucose responses. Next time you eat, try them in this order: 1. Veggies 🥬 2. Protein 🍗 3. Carbs 🍚 Eating fiber, fat, and protein first can also help you feel full and satisfied for longer, reduce the risk of overeating, and help keep cravings in check. 🙌 . . . #cgm #continuousglucosemonitor #signos #bloodsugar #glucose #weightloss #glucosehack

Yogurt is a fantastic go-to breakfast or snack thanks to its nutrient density. Packed with calcium, potassium, B vitamins, and probiotics, it’s great for your bones, blood pressure, and gut health. 🍦 However, not all yogurts are equal when it comes to managing glucose levels. Justin compares regular unsweetened yogurt to Greek yogurt, and the results are telling: Regular Yogurt Spike: +35 mg/dL Greek Yogurt Spike: +11 mg/dL While dairy products naturally contain some sugars, the higher sugar content in regular yogurt can lead to significant glucose spikes. 🎢 In contrast, greek yogurt’s higher protein content helps minimize those spikes and promotes more stable blood sugar levels. Swapping regular yogurt for greek yogurt is an easy way to support metabolic health and meet your protein goals. Just add some fresh fruit and nuts for a satisfying, nutritious breakfast that will keep you energized all morning! . . . #cgm #continuousglucosemonitor #signos #bloodsugar #glucose #weightloss #glucosespike #foodexperiment

Orange juice is often seen as a healthy choice, especially for breakfast. But how does it really impact your blood sugar? 🍊 Justin tested it with his Signos CGM and saw a spike of 33 mg/dL—almost identical to Coca-Cola, which caused a 34 mg/dL spike! 🤯 While orange juice does contain vitamins and minerals, it is also packed with sugar and lacks fiber, which can cause a big glucose spike. Opting for a whole orange is a better choice—it gives you less sugar and more fiber and keeps you fuller longer. 🍊 . . . #cgm #continuousglucosemonitor #signos #bloodsugar #glucose #weightloss #glucosespike #foodexperiment
