Q: Can supplements help reduce blood sugar spikes after meals?
A: Yes-some products may help reduce blood sugar spikes after carbohydrate-rich meals, especially for people with insulin resistance or prediabetes. One example is AOR GlucoSupport, which contains white mulberry leaf extract (Reducose®). This ingredient may help slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates in the small intestine, allowing glucose to enter the bloodstream more gradually. In studies, this mulberry extract reduced post-meal blood sugar rises by about 30-40% after higher-carbohydrate meals.
A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help show how foods-and tools like these-affect your blood sugar. GlucoSupport works best alongside balanced meals, protein, fibre, healthy fats, post-meal exercise, and portion awareness-not as a free pass for unlimited carbs. If you have diabetes or take blood sugar medication, check with your healthcare provider before use.
