There is a reason why fasting blood glucose targets are the most stringent - we should wake up with sugar between 70-110 mg/dl. Upon waking up too high, a blood sugar level can effectively spoil our mood because it makes it challenging to maintain normoglycemia during the day. Still, ...
As you probably know the glycemic index is a measure of how fast your blood sugar levels rise after ingesting certain carbohydrate. And the assumption here is that the faster your blood sugar rises, the more insulin you’ll release. And this is bad. The low-glycemic index idea has some ov...
The results have been absolutely fantastic for me, but that does not mean that intermittent fasting will work for everyone. It is really important that they do more trials on humans to find out if in the long-term it is safe and effective. But having experienced intermittent fasting, I ...

It so happens that as a carbohydrate-rich (or protein-rich) meal is consumed and digested, the levels of glucose in thebloodrise; consequently, the pancreas secretes insulin. Glucose molecules keep getting added to chains of glycogen as long as both glucose and insulin are readily avail...
If you become ill and have diabetes, your blood sugar and ketone levels can rise and cause ketoacidosis. Consult with your healthcare provider about how to monitor your ketone and blood glucose levels and how to prevent ketoacidosis when you’re sick. (2) ...
The advantage of ketones is that they don’t negatively influence your blood glucose levels (exogenous ketones can actually lower blood sugar levels) and, unlike caffeine, they don’t redirect energy away from other parts of your body or cause jitters or sleepless nights. ...
Chromium functions by assisting the hormone insulin in its functions of controlling blood glucose levels. This decreases the body’s need for “insulin” and lower insulin implies more HGH. 7: Colostrum The last must-have ingredient in HGH supplements to make it into this list is colostrum. A...
