Understanding Blood Sugar: The Story Behind Each Number
In today's episode, I delve into the complexity of understanding blood sugar levels beyond just food intake. I emphasize the importance of viewing blood sugar as a data point with a story behind it, rather than just a surface level number. I highlight the misconceptions around blood sugar management, particularly for those dealing with insulin resistance, prediabetes, or diabetes. The episode offers insights into a deeper understanding of blood sugars and hints at a forthcoming mastermind group focused on CGMs (Continuous Glucose Monitors) and overcoming insulin resistance.

You are raising a great point about looking at sugar levels , and by extension all other human medical issues . I think your way of looking at human physical anomalies in medical practice is missing in our medicine . Understanding the context of a medical issue is better way to remedy the ailment than narrowly targeting a symptom. After all our body is a soup bowl of random variables(context) which are unique to individual patients. Symptoms may be common to all diabetic patients, for example, but each one of them arrives at the station with different mode of transport. Thanks Doc.

You are welcome.
I wish my sugar would only rise to 120 when stressed. I never took care of myself and I’ve been a diabetic for over 20 years. Please people take care of yourself.

With regards to dehydration, what are your thoughts regarding the bodies ability to create its own water in the absence of external water consumption?

@@DrLaurieMarbas I don't challenge that point at all. My question was what are your thoughts on the body's capability of producing water from stored fat cells which would then reduce the amount of exogenous fluid you're suggesting we should be consuming daily?

My irritation with glucose numbers is the deviation. For example yesterday I ate one meal the entire day which consisted of a chick fil a chargrilled sandwich and a medium fry. My glucose level at bed time was 104. When I woke up I checked and it was 153! I don’t get it especially without consuming anything else.

@@asinh1100 i knew that the fries and the bread were not good however, because of my job it was the better option I had at the time. My frustration was that it was the only meal I had that day and that night my glucose was 104. The next morning it was higher at 153. Logically I would have thought that it should’ve been lower not higher.
