ISBN: 9798171093051 - health 101: blood sugar: how glucose and insulin work, why levels rise and fall, and what supports metabolic health (1 Ergebnisse)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Blood sugar is fuel, not a toxin. Glucose rises after meals, falls between them, and is steered by insulin, glucagon, the liver, and muscle. Viral advice treats every spike as a crisis. That is not how the system works - and it is a poor way to understand metabolic health.Health 101: Blood Sugar explains glucose and insulin in plain English: what happens after you eat, what fasting glucose and A1C measure at a general level, how insulin resistance and prediabetes are discussed, and how sleep, movement, stress, muscle, and food composition shape patterns - without teaching you to diagnose diabetes or change medication.Inside you will learn how to: - See glucose as a normal fuel for brain and muscle, not an enemy- Follow insulin, glucagon, the pancreas, and the liver through fed and fasting states- Understand why mixed meals, fiber, fat, protein, and a walk after eating change post-meal curves- Make sense of fasting glucose, A1C, and other tests as concepts - not DIY diagnosis- Understand insulin resistance and prediabetes without assuming they are inevitable or 'cured' by a hack- Tell type 1, type 2, and other diabetes contexts apart at a high level- Read CGMs and wearables with their lag, error, and anxiety traps in mind- Connect movement, muscle, sleep, and stress to glucose - not food alone- Spot myths: every spike is bad, fruit fear, vinegar tricks, and one-food-causes-diabetes claims- Build a general metabolic-health framework and a question list for a qualified professionalWho it's for: adults curious about glucose, insulin, blood sugar spikes, prediabetes, CGMs, energy crashes, and metabolic health; readers with family history who want foundational education before discussing personal results with a clinician.What this book will not do: diagnose diabetes, interpret your personal lab results, or tell you to change prescription medication, dose, or timing. It is general education - use it to understand the physiology, then personalize with a qualified professional.Understand glucose. Ignore the hype. Talk to a clinician about your numbers.…
