What we look at
Two people can eat the same bowl of white pasta and see very different blood sugar curves. Your genes are one reason why. Knowing your tendency tells you whether swapping to wholegrains, or pairing carbs with protein and fibre, is likely to make a real difference for you.
Glucose response How much your blood sugar may rise after refined carbs, and how quickly it settles. Focus in sample The genes
8 genes behind these results
All 48 genes ADCY5Glucose Helps signal insulin release from the pancreas. Linked to small differences in fasting blood sugar. ADIPOQGlucose Makes adiponectin, a hormone from fat tissue that helps your body respond to insulin. G6PC2Glucose Helps set your fasting blood sugar level. GCKGlucose Your body’s glucose sensor. Sets when insulin is released. GCKRGlucose, lipid handling Controls how the liver handles glucose, and affects blood fat levels. IRS1Glucose Passes insulin’s signal into your cells. PPARGGlucose, saturated fat Guides fat cell development and how tissues respond to insulin. TCF7L2Glucose The strongest common gene linked to blood sugar control and insulin release.
