Let’s explore “G6PC2 and fasting glucose”

G6PC2 participates in glucose handling in pancreatic beta cells.

G6PC2 encodes a glucose-6-phosphatase-related protein expressed in pancreatic islet cells. Common variation is associated with differences in fasting glucose regulation; it is not the insulin receptor.

Normal <100; prediabetes 100-125; diabetes ≥126 on confirmatory testing unless unequivocal hyperglycemia.

Ask your clinician to read this result with concurrent glucose, kidney function, and exogenous insulin use.

Diabetes may be diagnosed at ≥200 with classic symptoms or hyperglycemic crisis.

Normal <140; prediabetes 140-199; diabetes ≥200.

No universal reference or treatment target. Standardize fasting duration and collection time.

Renal threshold, SGLT2 inhibitors, pregnancy, and hyperglycemia matter.

PURSER WELLNESSBenefits of FastingA conversation with Dr. Purser

Dr. Purser shares the benefits of fasting in everyday life. Have you ever tried a 72-hour fast? The benefits of fasting include reduction of premalignant stem cells and chance of cancer. Learn why cancer cells require glucose and how fasting reduces lipids and inflammation. Dr. Purser also discusses the need for careful monitoring of diabetic patients who choose to fast. Learn about precautions of fasting and the need to intake fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and medications. Contact us at (801) 796-7667 or info@danpursermd.com for help.

PURSER WELLNESSMTHFR & The Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Always Tired & Craving SweetsA conversation with Dr. Purser

MTHFR & The Never-Ending Sugar Crash Cycle: Why You’re Always Tired & Craving Sweets If you have an MTHFR variant (C677T or A1298C), you may constantly battle fatigue, sugar cravings, and energy crashes — even when you’re “doing everything right.” In this video, we break down exactly why this happens: How MTHFR/methylation issues impair ATP (energy) production at the cellular level Why your body desperately reaches for quick glucose The vicious cycle of blood sugar spikes → insulin crashes → more cravings & fat storage The downstream effects on antioxidants, DNA repair, and overall energy How to finally break the cycle: Targeted supplementation that fills methylation “holes” (what we learned from 15–20k intracellular tests) Why our MTHFR Daily multivitamin was specifically formulated for this The power of CMA intracellular testing Intermittent fasting (12–16 hrs) Fasted cardio (even just a brisk walk) High-protein, real-food diet with minimal processed sugars If you’re tired of the sugar rollercoaster and want stable energy, this is for you.

Chromium is even more critical than zinc to the glucose transport by the insulin receptor on the cell surface. Intracellular Chromium deficiencies are fairly common in my practice. Again early lack of chromium causes reversible insulin re

Zinc is critical for Glucose Transport through the cell wall via the Insulin Receptor. If you have low intracellular zinc level (much more telling and accurate versus serum levels) then this transport does not occur. Early and milder is j
