Glycemic Stability

Meaning

Glycemic Stability is a state of consistent and tightly controlled blood glucose levels, characterized by minimal fluctuations in both postprandial spikes and inter-meal dips. This represents optimal metabolic function, where the endocrine system, primarily through the actions of insulin and glucagon, efficiently manages carbohydrate metabolism. Achieving stability is crucial for long-term health, as chronic glycemic variability contributes to oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and systemic inflammation. It is a fundamental biomarker for assessing metabolic health and preventing the progression toward type 2 diabetes and related cardiovascular issues.
