Short YouTube video by Anu Simh about how stress — not just food — can cause glucose spikes. The speaker notes that FDA-approved over-the-counter continuous glucose monitors make spikes visible, but cautions against immediately blaming a food (e.g., toast or fruit) because stress (arguments, worries, appointments) can be the cause. The speaker advises retesting before removing foods and gives a target phrasing: keeping your sugar under 1:40. Retesting is emphasized as critical.

Chapters

The whole circumstance surrounding that meal matters. Finally, FDA approved over the counter continuous glucose monitors. So you see a glucose spike from breakfast and your mind rushes to blaming toast the fruit. But there's this big pitfall, which is it could actually be from stress. Are you stressed about the rest of the day? Were you getting in an argument? Did you have something on your mind? Did you have a dentist appointment later on in the afternoon that you were worried about? I would not eliminate something from your diet unless you're incredibly sure that you cannot make it work for you. And that means keeping your sugar under 1:40. Retesting is critical when you're doing these. That's why I think.
