Levels CoFounder Casey Means, MD, explains.

⚠ 4 downstream effects of a glucose spike:

glycation: when sugar sticks to our cells and tissues
oxidative stress: the generation of free radicals in the body
inflammation: the body reacting to something being “off”
reactive hypoglycemia: a blood sugar low following a spike

 Reactive hypoglycemia can be associated with anxiety, mood lability, fatigue, brain fog, and cravings. It’s the effect (of the above four) you’ll feel more immediately rather than in the long term.

✅ You can avoid these effects by keeping your glucose levels stable, like gently rolling hills rather than spikes and dips, which helps avoid insulin surges.
