“Loss of insulin sensitivity in muscle increases blood sugar levels, contributing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease development. The endothelial cells that line blood vessels are also sensitive to the ROS produced by excessive TLR4 activation.”

“As insulin resistance worsens, blood sugar levels become chronically elevated, leading to long-term remodeling of the blood-brain barrier. Changes include the thickening of membranes, a reduction of blood flow, and increased permeability.”

“Foods with a high glycemic index, such as sugar-sweetened soft drinks, desserts, and white bread products, contain sugars that are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing hyperglycemia (high blood glucose).”

“Diets high in antioxidants were associated with longer telomeres in children and adolescents. High blood sugar levels increased the rate of cellular senescence in bone marrow stem cells. Virgin olive oil reduced oxidation and DNA breaks compared to sunflower oil.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses Akkermansia muciniphila, vitamin B1's effect on blood sugar, emulsifiers in food, and electrolyte supplements.

“Within days of eliminating refined sugar, biomarkers of inflammation decrease markedly, and blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels improve. Risk of type 2 diabetes drops by nearly 25 percent.”

“Evidence from a study in mice suggests that even short-term exposure to a high-sugar diet increases susceptibility to ulcerative colitis. The study involved mice that ate either regular mouse chow or a diet high in sugar (approximately 50 percent sucrose).”

“Compared with placebo, a single 30 g dose of ketone monoester reduced post-meal blood glucose exposure by 36%, while ketone salts produced a smaller 22% reduction. The ketone monoester lowered the peak blood sugar level, whereas ketone salts mainly delayed the rise without reducing the peak.”

“From the article: > LP-1 is released from the wall of the gut after eating and acts to stimulate insulin from the pancreas to control blood sugar levels. This was known but what has now been unearthed is that GLP-1 also stimulates a small sensory organ called the carotid body located in the neck. View full publication.”

“Breaking up sitting produced modest improvements in blood sugar control after meals: Taking short activity breaks reduced the size of blood sugar spikes after eating, but overall and average glucose levels during the test period did not change much.”
