The video discusses how hormonal fluctuations and metabolic processes can cause high glucose levels in the morning. It explains that the liver can produce glucose from non-carb sources, like proteins and fats, and this process is regulated by insulin. People with insulin resistance may have high glucose levels, but fasting, losing weight, and exercise can improve insulin resistance over time. Hormones like cortisol and growth hormone can also contribute to high morning blood sugar. Artificial sweeteners can affect insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Insulin is important for regulating blood sugar levels and guiding glucose into cells. Insulin resistance can occur due to excessive fatty acids in the blood. Consistently high fasting blood sugar levels may indicate a problem with insulin regulation. Elevated fasting blood sugar levels can lead to long-term complications, so it's important to maintain healthy levels. Sugar MD provides resources and products to help manage blood suga that's why sugar is high without eating sugar hello and welcome to sugar md channel did you know that hormonal fluctuations and some metabolic processes can play tricks on us and can cause some pesky high glucose levels in the morning or even all day long talk about starting the day on a sugar-coated roller coaster so most of you even fast your blood sugar goes even higher and you're totally perplexed and confused as the day goes by it's not going to be a physiology lecture here I promise but I will make it easier for you to understand now let's dive into that intriguing world of gluconeogenesis in lay terms your liver making too much sugar imagine your liver going all very productive and producing glucose from non-carb sources like even proteins ketones fats it's like magic or maybe science who knows right well this process is regulated by insulin and for people who does not have enough insulin or insulin resistant then your liver will think that you need more and more glucose your insulin resistance will not change from a little bit of a fasting one or two day so this process will not get better until you continue to fast and lose weight and exercise and eventually eventually not in a day or two because I hear people saying hey you know in fasting I did fast yesterday my blood sugar went up it's not going to happen in one day so your insulin resistance will improve eventually and then your blood glucose will go down as your liver becomes more insulin sensitive as time goes by it may take weeks if not months but wait there's more hormones right like cortisol or the growth hormone they also like to wreak havoc by causing high morning blood sugar mayhem it's like they have a secret competition to see who can mess up our glucose levels between the cortisol and growth hormone now insulin resistance often gets the blame for this unfriendly early morning surprise but remember morning hormones pushing glucose out of your liver can also result in high blood sugar levels we call this dawn phenomenon most people without diabetes have a backup plan they just produce more insulin no problem but for those with diabetes it is more of a sticky situation if you leave the dawn phenomenon unchecked it can go from bad and worse making insulin resistance go out your body's cells won't be too keen on the insulin available high fasting glucose levels and metabolic struggles like obesity type 2 diabetes can tag along with unmanaged morning high sugar jinx if you do not have a protein breakfast for example your glucose will condense in the morning and you will persist until late morning and the next one that we're going to talk about is the beloved artificial sweeteners now don't fret my friend if you are dealing with elevated blood sugar levels it is time to take a closer look at your diet yes I am talking about those sneaky artificial sweeteners that are supposed to help you lose weight but they're not going to help you lose talking about those sneaky artificial sweeteners like Splenda it may promise zero calories but let's say it is not as sweet as it seems research suggests that artificial sweeteners can still mess with our body's insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance so even if you don't see an immediate sugar rush after consuming some Splenda laden treat the long-term effects might not be as delightful as expected so keep an eye on those hidden sugar traps now let's talk about more on the role of insulin in blood sugar regulation let's give a shout out to insulin the superhero hormone that keeps blood sugar under control and sends glucose into cells for an energy burst it's all about preventing glucomania it's not the insulin's fault the liver's villainous plot to create glucose from proteins and fat due to insulin resistance now let's talk about how insulin work everybody blames insulin insulin but let's talk about this in healthy individuals insulin production and release are like synchronized densers to keep blood sugar levels in the spotlight so some insulin is necessary absolutely so we cannot just blame the insulin too much of insulin is not a good thing after you munch down some carbs well they get broken down into glucose they enter your bloodstream but don't worry your body has a secret weapon called insulin to guide this glucose into cells throughout the body like I said some insulin is absolutely necessary to get this job done even if you are on a fully keto or fully protein diet your body needs insulin without any insulin we are all going to coma if there is extra glucose in need of a hiding spot insulin will stash it away in your liver for future use well thanks to insulin's smooth moves your blood sugar levels especially post meals keep their cool and stay in the sweet spot thanks to insulin however and by the way when you eat protein your insulin goes up too just less not as much as carbs now when you have insulin resistance due to excessive fatty acids circulating in your blood from obesity or visceral fat which is the fat around your organs insulin will not be able to have these smooth moves it's like a clogged up streets you cannot drive through it a fasting blood sugar level what is the good one between 70 and 120 milligram per deciliter is the bees knees but wait there's more if your morning readings are consistently above this range it is time to ring the alarm bells these sugar levels might indicate a problem with insulin regulation or other sneaky health issues like the dawn phenomenon like we discussed yikes but don't worry my sweet toothed friends I know some of you are elevated fasting blood sugar levels could lead to long term complications we know that like nerve damage kidney disease heart problems most of you actually have it without knowing it because your doctor doesn't tell you and then you think that you're all fine it is time to buckle up and it is time to buckle up and maintain those blood sugar levels to keep your health in check now do not forget to take the benefit I mean I'll follow port tested as a protection and you know how to get them right you just have to go to sugar MDs calm now now while you are at it I would say grab yourself some sugar MD gluco defense and super berberine these could be your secret weapons in this sugar filled battle and guess what you've got we've got videos we've got books to guide you through this sugary journey just head on over to sugar MDs calm for all your sugar wrestling needs remember folks we are in this together
