Even with about 5 liters of blood circulating through your body, normal blood glucose amounts to roughly a teaspoon of sugar. In diabetes, it’s closer to 2 teaspoons, so even a relatively small increase can make a significant difference.Blood sugar levels can look normal for years before diabetes develops. Insulin’s primary job is to remove sugar from the blood. This means the body may be producing more and more insulin to keep blood sugar under control long before glucose levels become obviously elevated.Normal fasting insulin levels vary from country to country and are often based on population averages. The problem is that if a large portion of the population already has insulin resistance, an “average” insulin level may not necessarily reflect optimal metabolic health.A fasting insulin test is one of the best ways to detect insulin resistance early. Focus on getting your fasting insulin below 5, reducing sugar intake, and avoiding frequent snacking.DATA: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7547588 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5890905 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3831539 Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.
