A member asked:
Is it common for prediabetics to have problems maintaining steady glucose levels eg highs and lows.worse in mornings.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Prediabetics can have episodes of high blood sugar as well as low (hypoglycemia). The cause is Insulin resistance. These fluctuations in blood sugar can be controlled with proper diet, exercise and vitamins. A low carb diet with moderate protein and good fats will help stabilize Insulin levels and blood sugar. Daily exercise is very important. Vitamin d3, chromium, ala, etc. Might be useful.
