Hyperglycemia is blood glucose greater than 120 mg\/dL while fasting or postprandial (after food consumption). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of glucose spikes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Food had a high Glycaemic Index (GI) i.e, it included more simple sugars and carbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Coffee intake leads to an increase in stress hormones that lead to a glucose spike<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. High level of stress in the body in general due to external stressors<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Lack of sleep<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In case the meal that spiked glucose has a combination of 2-3 individual food items, you would need to test out each one of them \/ a suspect food that spikes your glucose again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, in chicken rice, generally, the suspect is rice due to high GI but in chicken rice followed by a milkshake, there are more items that need to be evaluated as well. <\/em>You can find suspected meals that are spiking your glucose in Insights on the metabolism tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How can you fix this? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Portion control: Reduce high GI foods<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Engage in physical activity to counter glucose spike(s)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Exercise to lift up overall metabolism<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Get enough sleep to improve the body’s response to glucose<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Maintain low-stress levels<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":12433,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wearable-tech"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nUnderstanding and managing hyperglycemia -
