Why Blood Sugar Spikes and Crashes Matter | Dr. Casey Means

Levels co-founder Casey Means, MD, explains glucose variability.

📈 Glucose variability is a measure of how much your blood sugar levels go up and down during the day. Less variability is better.

⚠️ As Dr. Means notes, 72% of people in the United States are overweight or have obesity. And 128 million have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.

🔑 One key to preventing and reversing these conditions is keeping your blood sugar relatively stable throughout the day via nutrition and physical activity strategies.

✅ What you can do:

Avoid refined carbohydrates as much as possible.
Skip added sugar as much as possible.
Eat a variety of fruits and veggies.
Pair carbohydrates with healthy fats, protein, or fiber to help slow glucose absorption.
Go for a short walk after a meal.
Wear a continuous glucose monitor to track your variability and make informed changes as necessary.
