Research Topic
After my own pre-diabetes scare, I spent months reading clinical studies and research papers. Here's what I found about why blood sugar spikes — and what the science says about managing it naturally.
Gluconeogenesis
Most people don't know their liver produces glucose independently of what they eat. When this process breaks down, blood sugar rises even on a clean diet.
Fasting Glucose
The "dawn phenomenon" is real — your liver dumps glucose overnight. Here's what research says about why it happens and what triggers it.
Diet & Blood Sugar
You cut carbs to zero and your numbers barely moved. The reason may surprise you — your liver converts protein and fat to glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis.
Natural Approaches
From juniper berry to gymnema sylvestre — a look at what published research says about natural compounds and blood sugar support.
Symptoms
That afternoon crash isn't always about caffeine or sleep. Research suggests it may be tied to how your body regulates — or fails to regulate — blood glucose.
Environmental Factors
Emerging research links common chemical exposures — BPA, phthalates, PFAS — to liver stress and impaired glucose regulation. Here's what the studies found.
After months of research, I found something that made a real difference for me. It's not a miracle cure — but the science behind it is solid, and my numbers improved.
