Recent scientific discoveries have aligned much like planets, leading to an inescapable conclusion among many physicians that glucose metabolism may be even more important than LDL cholesterol in the genesis of many modern diseases.

There is a wealth of evidence linking pre-diabetes, raised HbA1c, and full-blown type 2 diabetes to increasing cardiovascular risk. Lesser degrees of a pre diabetic metabolism could therefore have an important role in causing long-term atherosclerosis.
Is is increasingly obvious that not everyone with raised coronary inflammation and elevated risk of heart attack simply has a raised LDL Cholesterol- in fact there appears to be a mixed bag of risk factors associated with high coronary artery inflammation, including raised LDL, raised LP (a), raised Homocysteine, hypertension and dysregulated glucose. Our metabolic health assessment is therefore designed to offer a comprehensive dive into known contributory causes, the latest and most controversial of which is 'glucose dysregulation', the principle topic of this article.
In the absence of strong evidence, a pragmatic approach involves educating patients about the current knowledge gaps while encouraging lifestyle changes that are generally beneficial. These include reducing carbohydrate intake, choosing lower glycemic index foods, increasing physical activity, and improving sleep quality. Such measures are unlikely to be harmful and could potentially lead to improved overall health and well-being
As we begin 2024, I want to highlight three groundbreaking developments from 2023 that promise a brighter future for healthcare, two of which leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI).
