Blood Sugar: List Of Research-Backed Claims
Blood sugar, or blood glucose, is the amount of glucose present in your blood. Blood sugar either comes from the food we eat or produces in your liver. Over time, high blood sugar can lead to long-term, serious health problems.
Every time you eat, your blood sugar fluctuates. These fluctuations, called "spikes", can come rapidly, depending on the amount of sugar in the blood, after eating specific foods, most commonly after meals rich in carbohydrates.
These "spikes" in your blood sugar causes problems, especially when prolonged because it can cause insulin resistance, which later can lead to diabetes, but also cardiovascular diseases.
Research is telling us, nutritional management of blood glucose levels is a strategic way in the prevention and control of diabetes.
