This animation describes recent discoveries about the process of inflammation as it relates to type 2 diabetes. It focuses on the role of the newly-discovered ‘inflammasome’, which is being studied by researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, Melbourne, Australia.
The inflammasome is an amazingly complex structure assembled by the immune system to protect the body from foreign invaders, but it also plays a key role in type 2 diabetes. This animation highlights how diseases associated with inflammation, such as type 2 diabetes, are the result of western lifestyle and represent one of the biggest health risks in our society.

Levels Co-Founder Casey Means, MD, and “Glucose Goddess” Jessie Inchauspé talked about all things glucose, including Inchauspé’s top hacks for better blood sugar control.

✅ The Glucose Goddess hacks:

– Have a savory breakfast (not a sweet one).
– Eat your veggies first at every meal.
– Never eat sugar on an empty stomach (only as dessert after a meal).
– After you eat, use your muscles for 10 minutes (e.g., go for a 10-minute walk).
– Have some apple cider vinegar diluted in water before a meal.
– Put clothing on your carbs (i.e., eat them with fat, protein, and fiber)
– Have a savory snack instead of a sweet one.
