💉 Ever wondered what’s considered a normal blood sugar level?
Fasting: 4.0 – 5.4 mmol/L (ie not eaten for 8 hours)
2 hrs after eating: up to 7.8 mmol/L
For people with diabetes, targets can be a little different depending on that individual.
We see lots of clients with insulin resistance at the Pear studio, including PCOS and Gestational Diabetes, and we know that exercise truely is medicine to help with managing blood sugars.
When we can bypass the sticky hinged doors, and allow glucose to enter the cell through the window (aka GLUT-4 translocation to cell wall) we can reduce the amount of stress placed on the Beta cells in the pancreas to produce insulin, and the amount of time with elevated blood sugar levels!
