Managing blood sugar spikes after meals is a key factor in controlling weight and hunger. In healthy individuals, blood glucose typically rises after eating and returns to normal within a few hours. Insulin helps move this sugar into muscles for energy, but when excess carbohydrates are consumed, unused glucose can be converted into body fat. Frequent high blood sugar peaks followed by rapid drops are also linked to increased hunger and overeating.
For people with insulin resistance or diabetes, post-meal blood sugar rises higher and stays elevated longer, increasing the risk of fat storage and weight gain. This is why reducing blood sugar spikes is an important strategy for healthy weight management. Lower spikes mean less insulin is required and fewer excess calories are stored as fat.
SHAPE and SLIM helps reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes by limiting the absorption of carbohydrates and fats. Consumer testing using continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) has shown reduced post-meal glucose peaks. Results may vary, and CGM use allows individuals to see their own response in real time.
