Can sugaring (waxing) spike insulin?
This may sound a little paranoid, but I think sugaring might not be atkins friendly. I bought a sugaring kit (veet roll on), and it says among other warnings that the product is not safe for diabetics. This is purely speculation, but the only justification I could come up with for such a caution is the product once applied to pores and skin is absorbed to a degree, and with the high sucrose content (#1 ingredient in fact) naturally this can be problematic for a diabetic because of their insulin problems.
I just wanted to ask here before using it. If I am to cheat, I surely don't want to waste it on a waxing kit !
