Do you have high blood sugar levels even though you’re not consuming dietary sugar? Today we’re going to talk about why this could be happening.
In this situation, the sugar is actually coming from your liver and kidneys. There is something called gluconeogenesis, which is the formation of new sugar. Your body always needs a very small amount of sugar, but your body can make this sugar out of non-carbohydrate sources. It can make it out of fat, protein, and even ketones. Insulin controls this process. It’s supposed to turn off gluconeogenesis.
When you have high blood sugar, but you’re not consuming any sugar, this could mean that you have very low amounts of insulin in your body. Your insulin may actually be too low. Insulin resistance is a condition that can cause you to not have enough insulin.
With insulin resistance, you have high levels of insulin, but that insulin is not working in the body, and it’s not shutting down gluconeogenesis. It may be best to focus on improving insulin resistance.
How to help improve insulin resistance: • Exercise more • Increase your fasting • Increase your fiber (vegetable fiber) • Apple cider vinegar • Vitamin D • Chromium • Zinc • B vitamins (nutritional yeast) • Potassium • Magnesium • Get more sleep • Decrease inflammation • Give it more time • Focus on other improvements

insulin shutting down gluconeogenesis because
100.16 -> it's all about the receptor so the receptor
in your cell is not receiving insulin so
106.08 -> your body is going to sense low glucose so
basically your insulin is dysfunction whoops
116.32 -> what can you do simply focus on improving
