Healthy metabolism starts with steady glucose
Our Metabolic Health Assessment is designed to offer a comprehensive dive into how your body tackles glucose.
Even without abnormal readings of traditional markers of diabetes or pre-diabetic status, increased glucose variability (GV) and transiently raised blood glucose in non-diabetics is widely considered to be a potentially important risk factor for:
- Increased risk of developing diabetes, or impaired glucose tolerance.
- Increased systemic inflammation linked to arthritis and atherosclerosis.
- Symptomatic low glucose post high glucose, causing daytime fatigue.
- Future atherosclerotic heart and cerebrovascular disease, including dementia and stroke.
- Possible premature ageing and wrinkles (glycosylation of collagen).
- Increased BMI, due to insulin resistance.
