Glucose Metabolism in Functional Medicine

Glucose Metabolism in Functional Medicine

Understanding Blood Sugar Patterns, Insulin Dynamics, Glycemic Variability, and Metabolic Dysfunction
By Dr. Justin Mark Scott

What can your blood sugar results really tell you about your metabolic health? Is a "normal" fasting glucose always reassuring? What happens when your A1C, glucose, and insulin results seem to tell different stories? And how can you look beyond individual numbers to recognize meaningful metabolic patterns?

Glucose Metabolism in Functional Medicine takes a practical, pattern-focused approach to understanding glucose regulation and laboratory findings. It explores fasting and random glucose, A1C, oral glucose tolerance testing, insulin, C-peptide, fructosamine, glycated albumin, glucose variability, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia.

But why stop at simply asking whether a result is high or low? What if the relationship between several laboratory markers provides a more useful clinical picture than any single number?

Written for practitioners, students, and health professionals, this book helps readers connect laboratory findings with glucose metabolism, insulin dynamics, nutrition, cardiometabolic health, and broader metabolic dysfunction.

Could understanding the pattern behind the numbers change the way you interpret glucose-related laboratory results? Explore the evidence, ask better questions, and build a stronger foundation for functional and integrative metabolic assessment.
