Continuous glucose monitors are just the beginning—here are six future technologies for measuring glucose and other key biomarkers.
Here’s what “processed” actually means, how these foods impact your metabolic health, and how to avoid the worst of them in the grocery aisles
In part three of Ben Bikman’s series, he looks at the effects of energy and hormones on insulin resistance and offers tips for building an insulin-friendly diet
Milk, cheese, yogurt, and other dairy products may not immediately spike your blood sugar, but they could make you more insulin resistant over time.
The organisms that make up your microbiome impact how your body processes food and your overall health. Here's how you can keep your microbiome healthy.
Glucose is a simple carbohydrate, a monosaccharide, which means it is a single sugar. We get glucose from the food we eat.
Erectile dysfunction can be both a consequence of poor metabolic health and an early warning sign for conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
Diet and lifestyle matter more to your joints than you might think. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Howard Luks explains the link and what you can do about it.
Insulin resistance is a shockingly common condition spurred on by diet and lifestyle. Here are the processes in your body that lead to this dangerous state.
Inflammation helps heal your body, but chronic inflammation can cause serious damage. Here’s how a healthy lifestyle—including a low-sugar diet—can help keep it in check.
Research shows a relationship between the high blood sugar and hot flashes. Stabilizing glucose levels might help ease the discomfort.
When a cell loses its responsiveness to insulin, which can happen due to various conditions, it becomes insulin resistant.
