Your blood sugar has been
reacting to your food.
You just couldn't see it.
Real CGM observations from Nakul Grover — a Type 1 diabetic living with diabetes since 2005. Showing what mango, poha, chai, and more may do to blood sugar across three different body types.

Sugar Truth Show
The show that reveals what your food is silently doing to your body — one Indian meal at a time.

The Mango Myth
Is one cup of mango really safe? We tested it on a Type 1 diabetic, a Type 2 diabetic, and a non-diabetic on the same day. The CGM results across three body types may challenge everything you assumed about India's favourite fruit.
The Chai Trap
India's most beloved drink — how many cups does it take before your glucose stays elevated all day?
Paratha vs Roti
Ghee, flour, and your pancreas — does the cooking method really change your glucose response?
Packaged Juice Shock
A small tetra pack of 'no added sugar' juice — what 12 grams of fruit sugar may do in 20 minutes.
Latest Food Experiments
Real CGM observations across three perspectives — same food, three different bodies.
Awareness only · Not medical advice · Personal CGM observations · Results vary person to person
Fresh Mango
1 cup sliced (165g)
“Sharp rise in my personal CGM observation. Ripe mango can show fast-acting glucose patterns for some people. Personal observation only — results vary.”
“Moderate but sustained rise — stayed elevated for 2+ hours. One serving may be enough.”
“Quick rise and fast return to baseline — a healthy glucose response handled it well.”
Awareness only — not medical advice. Personal CGM observations. Results vary.
Poha
1 bowl (200g, with peanuts)
“Faster spike than expected — flattened rice absorbs quickly even with peanuts added.”
“Steady rise — adding more vegetables or reducing portion may help flatten the curve.”
“Minimal impact — body handled a standard bowl efficiently within 90 minutes.”
Awareness only — not medical advice. Personal CGM observations. Results vary.
Chai + Biscuit
1 cup chai + 3 glucose biscuits
“Sugar in chai + refined biscuits hit within 25 minutes. The classic Indian snack is deceptive.”
“Manageable rise — but 3–4 cups per day may compound significantly over time.”
“Small spike — cleared within 90 minutes. Hidden sugar rarely noticed.”
Awareness only — not medical advice. Personal CGM observations. Results vary.
Same food. Different bodies.
Very different results.
One cup of fresh mango — tested across a Type 1 diabetic, a Type 2 diabetic, and a non-diabetic. The CGM data difference was striking.

I've watched my glucose graph react to every roti, every mango, every cup of chai — while people around me had no idea this was even possible.
For years, I managed my blood sugar the hard way: guessing, correcting, learning through mistakes. Then CGM changed everything. Suddenly, I could see what food was doing in real time.
What My Sugar Says is my way of showing you what I see every day. No fear. No shame. Just the truth your food has been trying to tell you.
