Neural
A high GI meal may promote overeating due to insulin dose deviations caused by hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia.
Practitioners should consider the impact of GI on insulin management to prevent overeating.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Thus, a high GI meal may promote overeating with insulin dose deviations in either direction: 1) via mesolimbic signaling if hyperglycemia results from inadequate insulin coverage, or 2) via compensatory carbohydrate intake if excessive coverage causes hypoglycemia.
