You’ve done it. You’ve kicked sugar to the curb. Bread is a distant memory, you wouldn’t even look at a sweet treat, and yet, you get your lab results back and there it is: high fasting glucose. How is this even possible? Your doctor might be giving you a suspicious look, as if you’re secretly hoarding cookies. You might even be thinking you’re doing something wrong, but it’s not your fault. It’s because no one has explained what your liver is doing while you sleep.
Today, I’m going to explain exactly why your glucose can rise without you eating a single gram of sugar. We’ll uncover the one crucial test your doctor probably hasn’t ordered and, most importantly, what you can do to truly reverse this situation. Before we dive in, my usual disclaimer: this is for educational purposes only and is not personal medical advice. Always consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan. Now, let’s get into it. (Based on the insights of Sento Farmacéutico)
