I think it’s overrated to control your glucose to be within a range and not have spikes. It leads to too much stress and anxiety in otherwise healthy people to think about controlling their glucose. Occasional spikes are fine. Spikes during/after exercise are fine. Elite athletes have large spikes during training too.

Also glucose response to food differs widely by person; generalities are probably correct but they also might not.

> That breakfast will also deregulate our glucose levels for the rest of the day, so our lunch and dinner in turn will create bigger spikes.

This is just not true.

The idea that a healthy person who thinks about sugar becomes anxious seems less than completely hinged. I’m not sure you’re describing a real problem.
