Is your sweet tooth raging? It may be time to get it under control, for the sake of your health: Too much sugar a day can weaken your immune system, raise your risk of cancer and wreak havoc with your insulin levels. Doctors warn that too much sugar can drive up blood sugar, leading to insulin resistance, weight gain, and a host of other conditions you want to avoid, especially if you are worried about getting COVID. Research has shown that symptoms of COVID are worse among those with high blood sugar, diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, all tied to sugar intake.

Keeping blood sugar low and stable can help you stay healthier, and fight off the worse symptoms of COVID-19 if you get infected with the Delta variant, according to a diabetes doctor. The symptoms of infection are made worse by conditions related to insulin resistance, diabetes, and the inflammation that accompanies them, a study confirms. Research shows that people with diabetes are twice as likely to be admitted to the ICU with COVID as those who get the virus but do not suffer from conditions related to high blood sugar and diabetes.
We can t control the virus, but we can somewhat control our body s reaction to it, doctors are finding, and Dr. Mark Cucuzella, a Family Medicine professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine, is recommending that his patients eat a low-carb, high fiber diet and try to reduce their blood sugar levels to a healthy range before they get the virus, to help them ride out COVID-19 with milder symptoms if they do get infected.
