Impact of dietary habits on HbA1C levels: a study on starch-rich foods and fast food consumption patterns

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The relationship between dietary habits and blood sugar control is a crucial aspect of managing and preventing diabetes. HbA1C, a biomarker reflecting long-term blood glucose levels, is commonly used to assess diabetes risk. This study explores how the frequency of consumption of starch-rich foods and fast food impacts HbA1C levels among participants. By comparing different consumption patterns with participants’ HbA1C levels, the study aims to shed light on the potential role of dietary choices in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and preventing diabetes. The outcome of this study highlights significant trends, showing that the infrequent consumption of both starch-rich foods and fast food is associated with normal HbA1C levels, while a more frequent consumption correlates with higher levels of HbA1C, indicating an increased risk of diabetes.
