In this episode it’s me on my own discussing one of the most poorly understood topics, blood sugar. Insulin resistance and diabetes is on the rise and we are constantly told about the dangers of high blood sugar. Diets like paleo and low-carb have been suggesting that we avoid or minimise carbohydrates to protect against high blood sugar.

But what is high blood sugar really about? While most people think that high blood sugar is the problem, I tend to think of it as a symptom of a different issue. In this podcast I explain my take on blood sugar, why it’s happening and what you can do about it.
