Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral. I started wearing a CGM two weeks ago and my blood glucose levels are constantly elevated above 100. It’s not due to the way I eat; in fact, eating will raise my blood sugar about 20 points, but they’ll then drop to healthy levels after two hours. Following this, my blood sugar will rise again to over 100. I’ve had ME/CFS for almost 30 years and have such an intolerance to exertion that I can’t take a five minute walk without crashing, so I can’t turn to exercise to help manage my blood sugar. What could cause this and what can I do to help bring my blood sugar levels down into a healthier range? Mindy: Hi! I've been hearing a lot about how citric acid is horrible for you and is often made from mold. I know in other podcasts you've said that not all citric acid is bad and can be made from other things. Is there a way to tell what it's made from? Should we be looking for a non GMO label? Thank you! Lisa: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do as you have provided me with a tremendous amount of knowledge in my wellness journey. I have a question I have not been able to determine the reason why and best approach. Historically I received an annual Papanicolaou (Pap) test but now informed recommendations have switched to every 3-5 years, depending upon the patient. I have always believed one of the tools to cancer prevention is screening. Do you have any reasoning why it would have been lengthened to every 3-5 years? Is this the best approach to this 'area' of cancer screening or do you have an alternative screening you recommend? I reviewed your podcast archives and unfortunately have not seen something specific to this topic, apologize if you already answered. Kelsey: hi dr. cabral, i’m noticing i have insulin resistance fairly bad. i wake up with a fasted glucose between 100-110 almost daily. i eat a low carb diet with healthy fats and protein primarily but any time a starch / sugar is involved… it takes hours, sometimes days, to return to my baseline of 100. this is with healthy carbs like potatoes and fruit. some background is i have SIBO (currently on CBO protocol and PCOS w/ high androgens). ive experimented with longer fasts and i can go days without food with my blood sugar only reaching somewhere in the 90’s. i feel very good with no energy issues and i would have no idea i had this issue without deciding to get a CGM one day. can you please tell me the steps you’d take in reducing my blood sugar over time? thank you. Barbie: Dr Cabral, I desperately need your help. I have been to over 40 doctors and spent thousands of dollars on labs, supplements, medications, etc. and I can't find anyone that can help me get better. my depression and anxiety because of all this is out of control. I can't take anymore. I am to my whit's end.... can and will you PLEASE help me? Barbie
