A new study reveals something unexpected about sugar.. What is it?

A large-scale study of the human genome found a causal relationship between migraines and blood sugar, and these traits were associated with higher fasting glucose, higher glucose two hours following a meal.

The study was conducted by Dr. Daley Neholt and researcher Rafik Islam from the University of Queensland, and the results were published in the journal “Human Genetics”, which specializes in genetics studies.

“About 15% of the world’s population suffers from migraine, and until 1935, it was described as a ‘glycemic headache’,” Dr. Neholt said.

The researchers analyzed hundreds of thousands of human genomes from migraine patients, recurrent headaches, and those without.

“By identifying genetic associations and shared genes, we have inferred a causal link, thus improving our understanding of the relationship between migraine and glycemic traits,” which refers to glycemic characteristics, Neholt said.

In turn, researcher Rafiq Islam said: “Among the 9 features of blood sugar that we studied, we found a significant genetic association between fasting insulin (morning blood insulin level) and glycated hemoglobin with both migraine and headache.”

The results monitored a genetic link between high glucose two hours following eating a meal and migraine headaches.

“The results provide avenues for developing novel therapeutic strategies to control the glycemic features of migraine and headache patients, particularly increasing the fasting insulin level for headache protection,” Islam added.
