Summary

This study looked at whether eating the fast-digesting carbs at the end of a meal (instead of at the start) changes blood sugar levels in 22 elite female athletes. Over 6 days, participants wore a continuous glucose monitor and followed different meal sequences for breakfast and supper. The goal was to see if meal order could help manage blood sugar spikes during training and rest.
