The article highlights the role of olive oil in managing blood sugar levels, especially when consumed before meals. Some small studies suggest that a dose of extra virgin olive oil may help reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing gastric emptying and carbohydrate breakdown, leading to a gradual absorption of carbohydrates, decreased blood sugar rises, and increased levels of insulin and the hormone GLP-1. However, the limited evidence does not confirm the effectiveness of consuming oil as an independent practice for long-term blood sugar control. Nutrition experts recommend incorporating it as part of a balanced diet based on the Mediterranean diet, which links olive oil consumption with a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
