We calculate the Food Score based on the area under the graph's line. We look at the two hours after the meal. A high peak, as well as a long peak, results in a larger area. This results in a low Food Score.
Everyone's blood sugar levels are different. Therefore, we don't compare the area to others.
What you eat can significantly impact your blood sugar levels. This changes the size of the area, and subsequently, the Food Score.
If you want to accurately measure the effect of a meal on your blood sugar, eat only when your blood sugar has stabilized and leave at least two hours between meals.
If your blood sugar is still high from the previous meal, you may not be able to see the impact of the last meal as clearly. Consider the following example with a high blood sugar at the start:
Below you can see the consequences of eating two meals within 2 hours:
