When it comes to our health, so much of what is happening inside our bodies goes unnoticed - until it doesn't. Fatty liver disease is a perfect example of this, most patients have no idea they have it until a blood test or scan picks it up incidentally. The good news? It is also one of the most responsive conditions to the right diet and lifestyle changes.

Cholesterol blood tests are a very common part of routine medical check-ups. Most people understand that we are aiming avoid high cholesterol to reduce our risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease. It is also recognised that heart disease and heart attacks are the number one killer in the developed world. Hence, cholesterol gets a lot of attention and rightly so!

When it comes to our body, we are often unaware of what is actually going on internally and how we are producing energy to go about our daily lives. To understand more we should start with blood glucose. Why? Because I believe it gives us the biggest bang for our buck!
