Many well-meaning physicians may not bring up blood sugar until prediabetes or Type 2 has set in. Here’s how to talk to your doctor before you get there.

New to the world of metabolic health? Start here. Below we describe the basics of glucose and insulin, why metabolic health is important, and how you can improve yours.
Metabolic dysfunction can take many forms and creep up slowly. Here are some symptoms to watch for, and ways to maintain optimal metabolic health
Certain key factors directly impact your blood glucose levels and your metabolic health. Here are the seven to pay attention to.
You can experience early morning blood sugar spikes even before breakfast. Here’s what you should know about the dawn effect.
Insulin is the key hormone for maintaining stable glucose, and insulin resistance leads to disease and illness, yet it’s rarely tested. Here’s why and what you should look for when tested.
Everything you need to know about metabolic syndrome, including how to tell if you’re at risk and the best ways to prevent it.
A reason a person without diabetes experiences hypoglycemia is as the result of a glucose spike from eating a sugary or high-carb meal.
Why are antioxidants good for you? They reduce oxidative stress, a condition of electron imbalance in your cells that underlies metabolic dysfunction.
A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help you track your blood sugar in real-time. So how does a CGM work, and who should use it?
Glucose is only one piece of the metabolic health puzzle, but it’s an important one. Here’s why we believe in glucose monitoring for more people.
Glucose is an easy-to-measure marker of metabolic health, but stable blood sugar alone doesn’t make you healthy. Here's why we have to get beyond glucose.
Understanding postprandial blood sugar isn’t just important for those with diabetes or prediabetes. Being mindful of this number can help keep you healthy.
Metabolic health can be improved by consistently making choices that keep glucose levels in a stable and healthy range.
Metabolic health is getting worse for a growing number of people. Here is a look at the scale of the crisis and why we need to address it now.
Glucose is a simple carbohydrate, a monosaccharide, which means it is a single sugar. We get glucose from the food we eat.
Fasting glucose levels classify into 3 categories: normal, prediabetes, and diabetes. To be considered “normal,” fasting glucose must be under 100 mg/dl.
