Fasting and post-meal glucose measurements capture different moments in glucose regulation. Their interpretation depends on timing, testing method, and clinical context.
Why this matters when reading supplement marketing
Marketing can blur the line between supporting normal body functions and treating a diagnosed disease. FDA distinguishes structure/function claims from disease claims, and disease-treatment claims are not permitted for products marketed only as dietary supplements.
Keep measurements and treatment in context
Do not use a supplement article to diagnose yourself or change prescribed treatment. Use clinical measurements with guidance appropriate to your health situation.
