Did you know that all of the blood in your body should only contain a single teaspoon of sugar? Our bodies tightly regulate the amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. If you have prediabetes, that number rises to 1.5 teaspoons. With diabetes, the blood contains 2 teaspoons of sugar.
The average person consumes between 50 and 100 teaspoons of sugar every day. Insulin removes the sugar from your blood and converts it to fat or stored sugar in the liver and muscles. The body only needs a tiny amount of sugar (which the liver can make on its own), so we don’t actually need to consume any sugar at all.
Chronic excessive sugar consumption can lead to the development of insulin resistance, which is at the root of many chronic diseases.
Improve blood sugar control by avoiding these common mistakes when testing your blood sugar. 1. Not washing your hands 2. Using alcohol wipes incorrectly 3. Using expired strips 4. Hot sauna or cold plunge before testing 5. Tylenol usage 6. Taking vitamin C and other supplements 7. Squeezing fingers 8. Using different fingers 9. Using continuous glucose monitors 10. Testing at high altitudes 11. Drinking coffee 12. Checking glucose in the morning 13. Dehydration
An A1C test measures the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months. Several factors, including ethnicity, anemia, and diet, can affect these results.
The liver is at the root of the problem when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can quickly eliminate liver fat and correct insulin resistance and diabetes.
To further support healthy blood sugar levels, try the following: •Consistent exercise •Apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals •Morning walks •Berberine •Get plenty of sleep •Reduce stress levels •Increase sunlight exposure
