How High Blood Sugar Affects Your Body: Understanding Advanced Glycation End Products
In this episode of Kundlas MD, Dr. Kulmeet Kundlas explains how high blood sugar caramelizes the body internally, forming sticky crusts and rust-like substances called advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These AGEs damage blood vessels, organs, and tissues, leading to serious complications like blindness, kidney damage, and nerve damage. Learn the importance of maintaining hemoglobin A1C levels, adopting a plant-based diet, and exercising regularly to slow down the effects of high blood sugar and protect your health.
