Blood Glucose & Wellbeing - Why It’s More Important Than You Think!
Blood sugar, or blood glucose, is one of the most important markers of health, yet so many of us don’t pay attention to it until problems arise. Even if you don’t have diabetes, glucose spikes and crashes can impact your energy, mood, hormones, weight, and even migraine and inflammation levels.
So why should we all be thinking about our blood glucose? Let’s dive in.
The Impact of Blood Glucose on Your Health
When you eat, your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which enters your bloodstream and provides energy for your cells. This is a normal and essential process—but problems arise when blood sugar fluctuates too much, too often.
⏫ When glucose spikes too high, it can lead to:
Energy crashes and fatigue
Increased sugar cravings
Hormonal imbalances
Inflammation and oxidative stress
Disrupted sleep
⏬ When glucose drops too low, you may feel:
Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
Dizziness or shakiness
Mood swings and irritability
Increased hunger and overeating
Over time, constant spikes and crashes can contribute to insulin resistance, weight gain, hormonal imbalances (such as PCOS or perimenopausal symptoms), increased risk of chronic disease, and even worsening migraine symptoms as well as many other health conditions.
The Link Between Blood Sugar & Migraines
As a specialist in migraine nutrition, I see a strong connection between blood glucose fluctuations and migraine frequency. Rapid changes in glucose can trigger migraines by affecting:
💢 Neurotransmitters (serotonin & dopamine regulation)
⚡ Inflammation levels🍭 The brain’s energy supply
By stabilising blood glucose, many migraine sufferers see improvements in frequency, severity, and overall wellbeing.
How to Balance Blood Sugar Naturally
The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your diet to stabilise blood sugar. Small, consistent changes can make a big impact - What can we look at?
🥑 Prioritise protein & healthy fats with every meal
🥦 Eat fibre-rich foods to slow glucose absorption
🚶♀️ Move after meals (a short walk lowers post-meal glucose!)
💧 Stay hydrated to support metabolic function
🧘♀️ Manage stress, as cortisol spikes can increase blood sugar
