Causes of Blood Sugar Issues
The causes of blood sugar issues can vary from person to person, and can be influenced by a number of factors including genetics, lifestyle, diet, stress, and hormonal imbalances. Some common triggers include:
- Diet: A diet high in processed and refined foods, and low in fiber and nutrients, can contribute to blood sugar imbalances.
- Stress: Chronic stress can affect blood sugar levels by increasing inflammation and cortisol levels in the body.
- Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal imbalances, such as insulin resistance or thyroid dysfunction, can affect blood sugar levels.
- Environmental toxins: Exposure to environmental toxins, such as pesticides and plastics, can affect blood sugar levels and contribute to insulin resistance.
Treatments for blood sugar issues
Functional medicine approaches to treating blood sugar issues involve identifying and addressing the underlying causes of the condition. Some common treatments include:
- Dietary modifications: A healthy diet that includes whole, unprocessed foods, and is low in sugar and carbohydrates, can help regulate blood sugar levels.
- Lifestyle modifications: Regular exercise, stress-reduction techniques such as meditation and yoga, and adequate sleep can help improve overall health and regulate blood sugar levels.
- Nutritional supplements: Supplements such as chromium, magnesium, and alpha-lipoic acid can help support blood sugar regulation.
- Environmental modifications: Reducing exposure to environmental toxins and pollutants, and using natural cleaning products can help reduce inflammation in the body and support overall health.
- Medications: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms or regulate blood sugar levels.
Our top pick for Blood sugar issues
Lab Test
This at-home adrenal test, which consists of two separate tests for cortisol and DHEA via saliva, analyzes adrenal insufficiency or hormone imbalance. Such imbalances can lead to typical symptoms of adrenal fatigue, including fatigue or exhaustion, sleep disturbances, salt cravings, and low blood pressure.
Additionally, it is popular to combine this test with either our Estrogen/Progesterone Test or Testosterone Test for a more comprehensive hormonal assessment.
Lab Test
Diabetes is one of the most common public health diseases, caused by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. With GetTested’s Diabetes Test HbA1c, you can get a comprehensive view of your blood sugar levels over an extended period, which can indicate your risk for type-2 diabetes. This test measures your long-term blood sugar (HbA1c), reflecting your blood sugar levels in recent months, unlike a glucose test that provides a more immediate snapshot.
For continuous monitoring of your blood sugar levels, we recommend our Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which provides real-time data and a detailed overview of your glucose levels over a 2-week period. We also offer a Diabetes Test (Glucose & Ketone), a rapid test that measures both glucose and ketones, giving you immediate results to further support diabetes management and prevention.
Rapid Test
This is a simple at-home test with immediate results to detect glucose and ketone levels in your urine sample as an aid in diagnosing diabetes. The test result is shown by visually comparing it with a color chart found inside the package, so you do not need to send this test to a lab for analysis.
For comprehensive diabetes monitoring, combining this test with our Diabetes Test that measures HbA1c is ideal. The HbA1c test provides a long-term overview of your blood glucose control, offering valuable insights into the effectiveness of your diabetes management plan.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
