  • I read somewhere that you should eat the fastest digestible food first. So that would mean eating the fruit then your meal. Do you think either way would effect blood sugar in a significant amount?

    • Different metabolisms, different foods paired with the fruits, different types of apples…There are many factors involved, so it is good that you test yourself to see how you respond.
