Blood sugar control (personalized diet)

association Moderate study (AA)

Study of 800 people with continuous glucose monitoring (47,000 meals): the blood sugar rise after the SAME meal varies greatly from one person to another, so universal dietary recommendations have a limit. An algorithm using microbiota, habits and lab tests predicted the individual response. It pushes toward personalized nutrition.
