Why This Recipe is a Blood Sugar Game-Changer
✅ Low glycemic index – Fiber + protein slow digestion.
✅ No sugar crashes – Sweetness comes solely from whole fruits/veggies.
✅ Clinically smart combo – Oats, apple, and carrots work synergistically:
Oats: Beta-glucan fiber slows glucose absorption (Journal of Nutrition, 2021).
Apple: Polyphenols improve insulin sensitivity (BMJ, 2023).
Carrots: Soluble fiber buffers blood sugar response.
