The liver is responsible for producing sugar for the small percentage of the body that requires it. If you have high blood sugar despite removing sugar from your diet, it is either caused by a liver problem or a stress problem. Stress increases cortisol, a hormone that stimulates the release of sugar. If you wake up in the morning with high blood sugar and did not consume any sugar the day before, this is known as the dawn phenomenon. This phenomenon is caused by a long-standing liver problem associated with insulin resistance. To fix high blood sugar, do the following:1. Low-carb diet2. Stop snacking 3. Reduce stressDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
