Metabolic
Biomarker
Fasting Glucose
Included in Essential Labs
Why we test it
Glucose is the body's primary energy source, and the brain is especially sensitive to fluctuations. Sustained high blood sugar damages small vessels and is linked to brain volume loss and cognitive decline.
BetterBrain target
70-85 mg/dL (fasting)
Even mildly elevated fasting glucose is associated with brain volume loss. Our target is significantly below the standard < 100 threshold.
