A recent study found that individuals' blood glucose responses to carbohydrate-rich meals may vary widely, even when eating identical foods. The variations were strongly linked to individual differences in insulin sensitivity, beta-cell function, and microbiome composition. These findings highlight the impact of metabolic health on how the body manages blood sugar and suggest that tailoring dietary recommendations to individual physiology may be more effective. The study underscores the need for larger and more diverse studies to validate and expand on these findings.
