Frequent and large blood sugar fluctuations (aka riding the blood sugar roller coaster) can have a whole host of negative downstream effects on your body. Glycemic variability refers to blood glucose oscillations that occur throughout the day, including hypoglycemic periods and postprandial (after a meal) increases, as well as blood glucose fluctuations that occur at the same time on different days. This variability isn't always bad , levels are supposed to rise and fall after all. In today's Episode, Molly Downey, RDN, LDN from Nutrisense, a company that provides you with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that tracks your blood sugar 24/7 and an app to help interpret the data and gain insight on your body and how your body responds to various foods and lifestyle habits.
