Meditation Reduces Blood Glucose
Stress raises blood glucose significantly
I have metabolic syndrome. My glucose runs too high, and I am insulin-resistant. If I eat a small amount of carbohydrates or sugar, my blood glucose spikes far more than it would for someone with a normal glucose response. I wear a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to help me figure out my diet and keep my blood glucose under control. I wrote about biohacking with a CGM sensor here:
The following iPhone screenshots were taken from the Nurisense App that I use in conjunction with my CGM monitor. Typically, my Dawn effect would push my glucose number up to 160 for a few hours between 5 AM and 9 AM before they came back down within a normal range.
I was having a good run, I was trying out a few bio-hacks and it helped keep my daily blood glucose under the recommended 140 mg/dL for most of the day.
