Rolling in Trouble: The Risks of Light Meat Chicken Rolls for Those with Hyperglycemia

Written by Team Ultrahuman

Light Meat Chicken Rolls are a popular snack that may contribute to hyperglycemia due to the high glycemic index of the refined flours used to make the wrap/roll base. These refined flours can be easily broken down in the body, causing a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. Therefore, those with hyperglycemia should consume light meat chicken rolls in moderation and consider healthier alternatives for snacks.

Optimizing Light Meat Chicken Roll for Healthy Glucose Metabolism
• Try eating a portion of roasted chicken with a salad bowl instead of a wrap.
• Consider increasing the portion of chicken in the wrap and adding some veggies to it to increase the fibre content and reduce the overall carbohydrate load.
• You may want to try making the wrap out of almond or low-carb flour to reduce the number of refined carbohydrates and increase fibre intake.

Light Meat Chicken Rolls are often made with refined flour, such as white flour, a high glycemic index food. Refined flours are broken down quickly in the body and cause a rapid rise in blood sugar levels, which can contribute to hyperglycemia. Additionally, many Light Meat Chicken Rolls are often high in carbohydrates, which can further exacerbate this effect.
