Elite athletes test whether eating carbs last keeps blood sugar steadier

This study looked at whether the order in which elite female athletes eat their food—specifically, eating carbs at the end of a meal versus at the start—changes their blood sugar levels throughout the day. Twenty-two healthy athletes wore a continuous glucose monitor for six days during a training camp and followed different meal sequences. The goal was to see if a simple change in eating order could help manage blood sugar, which may affect energy and performance.
