Glucose Tolerance Alignment

Meaning

A clinical objective focused on synchronizing lifestyle factors, particularly the timing of food intake and physical activity, with the body’s inherent daily fluctuations in insulin sensitivity. The goal is to optimize the efficiency of glucose metabolism by consuming carbohydrates when the body is most prepared to handle them and avoiding them during periods of natural insulin resistance. This alignment is a chronobiological strategy to prevent postprandial hyperglycemia and reduce the cumulative metabolic stress on the pancreas and peripheral tissues. Achieving this alignment is critical for mitigating the risk of type 2 diabetes and improving long-term metabolic health.
