Eating olive oil before sugar may blunt blood sugar spikes

Original: Does the order you eat in matter for blood sugar? In mice, olive oil given BEFORE glucose blunted the early blood sugar

A mouse study found that olive oil given before glucose blunted the early blood sugar spike and slowed stomach emptying, with the hormones glucagon and GLP-1 acting as partly redundant backup mechanisms. The effect held in diabetic mice. Researchers caution the finding is preliminary and has not yet been shown to apply to humans.

Why now: People are interested in simple dietary tricks for managing blood sugar, especially given current attention to GLP-1 drugs.
