How to Support Liver Health While Managing Glucose The liver plays a vital role in glucose regulation and overall metabolic health. It helps maintain steady blood sugar levels by storing excess glucose as glycogen and releasing it when needed. However, when the liver is overburdened by poor diet, high sugar intake, or chronic conditions like insulin resistance, both liver function and blood sugar control can suffer. Supporting liver health is, therefore, essential for effective glucose management. Understand the Liver-Glucose Connection The liver regulates glucose through: Glycogenesis (storing glucose) Glycogenolysis (releasing glucose) Gluconeogenesis (creating glucose from non-carbs) If the liver is fatty or inflamed (as in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease—NAFLD), it may release too much glucose into the bloodstream , worsening blood sugar levels. Eat Liver-Friendly, Blood Sugar-Stabilizing Foods Leafy greens, berries, and cruciferous vegetable s (like broccoli) reduce inflamma...
