When labs show elevated blood sugar in a man, one thing I think of is:


šŸ‘‰ Hormones.


Here’s why:


1ļøāƒ£Insulin is the hormone needed to allow sugar to enter our cells.

2ļøāƒ£When cells stop responding to insulin (insulin resistance), blood sugar rises.

3ļøāƒ£Insulin resistance is worsened by low testosterone in men.


Also, according to the American Diabetes Association, men with diabetes are twice as likely to have low testosterone levels.


Here are some things anyone can do right now to support blood sugar balance:


āœ”ļø Choose water over sugary drinks

āœ”ļø Eat protein and vegetables with every meal

āœ”ļø Go for a short walk after eating


In Naturopathic medicine, we connect the dots to see the body as a whole. If you or somebody you love has been told your blood sugar levels are borderline or high, we’ll help you get to the root of the problem.
