7 Things Your Eyes Can Tell You About Your Blood Sugars
- 5 years ago
Today I want to talk to you about high blood sugar and eyes. Have you ever wondered how diabetes affects the eyes, or if your blood sugar could cause different eye problems? Well, I’m going to fill you in.
7 things the eyes will tell you about blood sugar:
1. Puffy Eyes
• Fluid follows sugar
2. Glaucoma
• High blood glucose depletes the oxygen reserve
3. Cataracts
• High blood sugar levels cause the proteins to become misfolded
• Take B1
• Get carnosine from consuming red meat
4. Retinopathy
• High blood sugar oxidizes and destroys the blood vessels that surround the nerve
• Take benfotiamine
5. Macular Degeneration
• Lutein won’t help unless you normalize your blood sugar first
6. Red Irritated Eyes
• Occurs from inflammation and damage from high glucose in the blood
7. Dry Eyes
• Often occurs because glucose depletes vitamin A and zinc causing deficiencies
Fixing your blood sugar is crucial to protect your eyes from eye diseases and vision problems. The way to fix your blood sugar is by getting on healthy keto (ketogenic diet) and by doing intermittent fasting as well.
