Measuring Blood Sugar Levels and Glucose Variability
This chapter discusses the importance of measuring blood sugar levels and the impact of glucose variability on health outcomes. It highlights a research paper that categorized individuals into three groups based on their blood sugar variability and showed that higher variability is associated with worse metabolic biomarkers. The chapter also discusses how current diagnostic criteria may miss early signs of metabolic issues and how measuring variability can help identify insulin resistance before fasting glucose levels change.
