Principle #6 for Good Glycemic Control

Principle #1 Carbohydrate tolerance
Principle #2 Exercise
Principle #3 Cortisol
Principle #4 Food Quantity

Principle #5 Reproductive hormones
Principle #6 Inflammation

Inflammation is a common theme in virtually all disease processes. Many individuals can recognize the signs of more severe local inflammation like redness, swelling, heat, and pain, but many individuals have unrecognized chronic systemic inflammation.  Some symptoms of systemic inflammation include depression, brain fog, pain, fatigue, and malaise.  While systemic inflammation can give these symptoms, in some individuals it is without symptoms.  Chronic systemic inflammatory responses drive the development of blood sugar disruptions (insulin resistance).  Insulin resistance then promotes further inflammation creating a vicious cycle.
