Blood Sugar
Carbohydrates, Blood Sugar, Glucose Monitoring and Chronic Fatigue
Both high and low blood sugar negatively impact energy production. Low blood sugar increases cortisol levels and sympathetic activation of the nervous system, which is disruptive to creating a healing state. In the early stages of fatigue recovery we want to create as much stability as possible to allow for healing.
Therefore, it is difficult to recover and feel well, without stable blood sugar. I recommend that everyone does some blood sugar monitoring at some point in their journey – sooner rather than later in my opinion – even if all they do is rule it out as a problem.
