Caiapo (in peel) improves glucose control in type 2 diabetes. Resistant starch (when cooled) improves insulin sensitivity. Lower GI than white potato.
This food may help with the following conditions. Click to learn more about each condition.
1/2-1 medium with skin, cooked and cooled
Cook and cool (increases resistant starch). Eat skin (highest in caiapo and fiber). Pair with protein/fat
Monitor portion size (still carbohydrate-dense)
White sweet potato has lower GI than orange, cooling increases resistant starch

Find a PractitionerActivates AMPK (metabolic master switch). Improves insulin sensitivity dramatically. Reduces glucose production in liver. Comparable to metformin in studies. Also supports healthy gut bacteria.
Low glycemic index. Resistant starch feeds beneficial gut bacteria and improves insulin sensitivity. High fiber/protein slow digestion. Chromium supports insulin function.
Curcumin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces insulin resistance. Anti-inflammatory effects reduce chronic inflammation (driver of insulin resistance). May prevent progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes.
