Levels | Why Blood Sugar Spikes and Crashes Matter | Dr. Casey Means @levels | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
Levels co-founder Casey Means, MD, explains glucose variability.
📈 Glucose variability is a measure of how much your blood sugar levels go up and down during the day. Less variability is better.
⚠️ As Dr. Means notes, 72% of people in the United States are overweight or have obesity. And 128 million have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
🔑 One key to preventing and reversing these conditions is keeping your blood sugar relatively stable throughout the day via nutrition and physical activity strategies.
✅ What you can do:
- Avoid refined carbohydrates as much as possible.
- Skip added sugar as much as possible.
- Eat a variety of fruits and veggies.
- Pair carbohydrates with healthy fats, protein, or fiber to help slow glucose absorption.
- Go for a short walk after a meal.
- Wear a continuous glucose monitor to track your variability and make informed changes as necessary.
