Gold (Amul) (1 Serving)

Edible gold leaf is not expected to raise glucose; review the food, drink, or sweetener consumed with it, as those are more likely causes.

If you swallowed non-food-grade gold, jewelry, or a large amount of any metal, contact poison control or a clinician promptly; do not try to induce vomiting.

When having foods decorated with edible gold, choose unsweetened plain Greek yogurt, nuts, or seeds alongside them rather than sugary desserts or drinks.

Use lentils, chickpeas, or beans as the carbohydrate component of the meal, and keep portions of sweets and refined starches small.

Add non-starchy vegetables and a protein such as eggs, fish, tofu, or chicken to slow the meal’s glucose effect.

A brief easy walk after eating, if safe for you, can help reduce the post-meal rise; monitor your glucose and discuss repeated unexpected spikes with your healthcare professional.
