26 Jul 2018 --- Healthy individuals are likely experiencing rapid blood sugar spikes, sometimes at the same severity of people with diabetes, a study at the Stanford University School of Medicine has found. The research identified that the level of sugar in an individual's blood – especially in individuals who are considered healthy – fluctuates more than traditional means of monitoring, like the one-and-done finger-prick method, would have us believe. Such spikes can contribute to diseases that are common precursors for diabetes.
