Why knowing your blood glucose will revolutionize your health
Knowing your blood sugar levels, even if you don’t have diabetes, can be a game-changer for your health. Blood sugar fluctuations impact your energy, mood, focus, and long-term health, and frequent spikes may be a result of insulin resistance—a precursor to diabetes and other metabolic issues.
Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance can be triggered by poor diet (for example, high fat, and high sugar and starchy diets) or by genetic factors. Hallmarks of insulin resistance are impaired fasting blood glucose (IFG), or worse, inability or impaired ability to lower blood glucose after a meal (impaired postprandial glucose or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Insulin resistance can be measured with a glucose challenge test or a test known as HOMA-IR. If insulin resistance is not resolved, this can lead to near complete inability of your endogenous (body’s) insulin) insulin to lower blood sugar, and the requirement for external insulin (injection or insulin pump).
By understanding how your body responds to different foods and daily habits in real-time, you gain powerful insights into what fuels you best, allowing you to make choices that help stabilize your blood sugar. This proactive approach can support sustained energy, improve mental clarity, and reduce your risk of metabolic disorders, all by addressing one of your body’s core balance points.
Continuous Glucose Monitors - Personalized insights to make health a habit
Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are small devices that attach painlessly to their upper arm for up to 15 days to measure their blood sugar levels (blood glucose).
Blood sugar is measured automatically every few minutes, and the data then sent automatically to your Smartphone, Smart Watch, or computer. There, one can study graphs and data points to understand how individual foods, sleep patterns, and exercise (to name a few) affect their blood sugar.
The hugely important news is that now CGMs can be purchased by ANYONE WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION, under the brand name Stelo by Dexcom (stelo.com) or Lingo by Abbott (hellolingo.com).
Optimal Blood Sugar with LifeSense
As you know, elevated blood sugar is linked to elevated risk for diabetes and heart disease, and potentially impaired cognition; and low blood sugar is associated with physical and mental fatigue.
Our GlucoLogic Tea will help you stay in the optimal Time in Range (TIR) of 70-140 mg/dL for optimal health throughout each day. Our MCT oils and powders may also be beneficial for blood sugar management, as they provide an alternative form of energy than glucose, for the brain and other organs to optimally function.
