About the GlucoTrig study
Elevated insulin and triglycerides from poor food choices are known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
This study aims to evaluate how well the GlucoTrig index demonstrates the effect of meals on insulin and triglycerides, helping consumers choose healthier foods.
