The Link Between Blood Sugar and Inflammation
There is a direct relationship between blood sugar and inflammation, and therefore a relationship between blood sugar and PCOS, endometriosis, and painful periods.
Luckily, it is very easy to track your blood sugar levels. You can purchase this $30 glucose meter [2]. You will use this to prick your finger, and measure the amount of glucose in your blood using the slides you can also purchase at a very affordable price.
When you get up in the morning, you are going to record your blood sugar. You’ll also record your levels before you eat, thirty minutes after eating, one hour after eating, two hours after eating, and again before you go to bed. If you happen to wake up in the middle of the night, it is also a good idea to test it then.
That can add up to a lot of pricks very quickly. For this first week, you might end up pricking your finger 15 times a day. But what’s the point? What is this going to accomplish?
After all of these tests over the course of a week, we will now have a fairly clear picture of how your blood sugar fluctuates over the course of the day. Now you will be able to clearly identify if you have a few or many spikes in a day, or if you are in the sweet spot.
If you fall out of that zone, then we can make a good assumption that it is contributing to your female problems, since your chronic state of inflammation all over your body will also cause female organs to inflame.
There is a fair probability that your levels are high, and there are many more articles about this on my website. But what can you do?
The good news is that there is a lot of hope. If you are looking to get some help, you can schedule a Zoom or phone call with me, and we can discuss a path to get you better.
Ideally, have a hyperlink to the bottom of the page, or a link to wherever you have these available. I've purposely left this sort of vague so you can change it to however you are going to link to the studies.
Take charge of your PCOS, endometriosis, and painful periods with this revolutionary protocol. By tracking your blood sugar levels and making targeted adjustments, you can alleviate your symptoms and achieve a better quality of life. Say goodbye to pain and hello to a brighter, healthier future.
