Eat for steadier blood sugar and track HbA1c
Steady your blood sugar with fiber and protein at every meal, at most 60 g of carbohydrate per meal, no sugary drinks and an early last meal, then follow HbA1c and fasting glucose over time.
The glucose stability protocol focuses on carbohydrate quality and meal composition rather than cutting carbohydrate out: fiber and whole grains, protein with every meal, no sugar-sweetened drinks and a last meal well before sleep. It suits people who want steadier blood sugar, people with a raised HbA1c and people who wear a continuous glucose monitor.
The targets
AumniVIDA scores these from your logged meals and measurements, and shows the evidence grade for each protocol.
Targets
- Fiber: at least 14 g/1000 kcal
- Whole grains: at least 90 g/day
- Added sugar: at most 5 % of energy
- At least 20 g protein per meal
- At most 60 g carbohydrate per meal
Limits
- No sugar-sweetened drinks
Timing
- Last meal: at least 3 h before sleep
How AumniVIDA follows it with your data
- Score most meals, not every meal. The per-meal targets (at least 20 g of protein, at most 60 g of carbohydrate) are judged over most of your meals.
- Get pairing suggestions. The coach suggests pairing carbohydrate with protein, fat or fiber instead of removing it.
- Follow your outcomes. HbA1c and fasting glucose trends are the result that matters. Ask to see what you ate before a lab result.
- Glycemic estimates are labelled. AumniVIDA estimates glycemic load and labels it as an estimate.
Follow up to five protocols on the free plan, or the full library with Pro. Rank them, and when two protocols disagree, the higher-ranked one guides the app.
The evidence
The protocol cites a Lancet series of systematic reviews on carbohydrate quality (2019) and a BMJ meta-analysis on sugar-sweetened drinks and type 2 diabetes (2015).
- Reynolds A, et al. Carbohydrate quality and human health: a series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (The Lancet 2019)
- Imamura F, et al. Consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, artificially sweetened beverages, and fruit juice and incidence of type 2 diabetes: systematic review, meta-analysis, and estimation of population attributable fraction (BMJ 2015)
Before you start
If you take glucose-lowering medication, AumniVIDA shows the relevant medication-and-food notes. Never change a dose without your clinician. AumniVIDA explains your data for general wellness; diagnosis and treatment decisions stay with you and your clinician.
