Pizza can have adverse effects in your life, If you are diabetic. A Penn State Diabetes Centre study suggests a slow and steady insulin-dosing pattern may best combat the glucose-raising effects of that common favourite food, An Indian daily reported.
Keeping glucose levels from jumping too high or dipping too low may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, which has been connected to erratic glucose levels in those with diabetes," said Robert Gabbay.
The study shows that after a high carbohydrate, high fat meal like the pizza used in this study, spacing out insulin given by an insulin pump in two doses, one of which is over an eight-hour period, may keep glucose levels in a more favourable range than a single dose of insulin or a double dose taken over a shorter period," he added.
Gabbay cautions that this method of insulin delivery may not be applicable to all high-carbohydrate, high-fat foods.
