Blood Sugar Management in Denver
You’ve heard all about blood sugar. But you may not know what the big deal is about it or how it influences your well-being. It is, however, a vital issue that affects thin people and those who are overweight. Having high blood sugar can lead to several serious and adverse effects in your body:
- Attaches to proteins and damages their function
- Can damage your nervous system
- Can lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease
- Changes your LDL cholesterol to small, dense, oxidized cholesterol
- Creates inflammation of your endothelial cells
Where Type II Diabetes Comes In
Most people may not realize that your Type II diabetes isn’t a problem that has to do with blood sugar. Instead, there is a problem with insulin and leptin signaling, which in turn will increase your blood sugar. The conventional treatment approach is to concentrate solely on lowering your blood sugar levels. This option, however, addresses only your symptoms rather than the underlying cause and can lead to more issues further down the road.
Everything Is Connected
Working on your blood sugar levels doesn’t mean that we won’t also address your cardiovascular health or any other area that needs work. Everything in your body is connected. Issues with your blood sugar might mean your hormones are imbalanced or you have inflammation in your body. We can work concurrently on these problems to make sure you reach the best possible level of health.
Understanding Blood Sugar
Nikki wants you to know that just because high or low blood sugar runs in your family, it doesn’t mean you’re doomed to that same fate. Did you know that genetics is only a piece of the puzzle?
