Lee Kyung-kyu, who had been rigorously managing his diabetes with a diet almost comparable to that of a monk, saw his blood sugar levels start to fluctuate again. What could be the reason?

On the 13th, SBS will examine the dangers of "sugar toxins," identified as the cause for not losing weight no matter how diligently one diets, in "Lee Kyung-kyu's Amazing Habits."

As the recording began, Lee Yoon-ah noticed Kyung-kyu, who looked extremely tired. Kyung-kyu then expressed his fatigue, saying, "They say men get depressed in the fall, but as I age, I find myself getting depressed in spring!" Following Kyung-kyu, Yoon-ah also opened up about the difficulties of dieting, saying, "My appetite is really good in spring."

However, Kim Se-wan, a family medicine specialist who was listening to the two hosts, firmly stated, "All those symptoms are not due to spring moods but rather because of sugar toxins." If you feel unsatisfied no matter how much you eat, feel too tired to exercise even though you want to lose weight, or feel like you're gaining weight just by drinking water, you should suspect sugar toxins at least once.

In response, Kyung-kyu shouted, "If they say I’m just feeling spring, what kind of disease is that?" However, doctors agreed that managing sugar toxins is essential, as sugar toxins release toxins throughout the body. Especially since glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is also an indicator of sugar toxins, those managing diabetes should pay extra attention to them.

Indeed, Lee Kyung-kyu, who had been diagnosed with prediabetes and was managing it rigorously, could be seen confirming that his glycosylated hemoglobin had risen to 6.3 during a surprise blood test. After seeing the results, Kyung-kyu exclaimed, "Which hospital did this? Can I trust this?" but quickly reflected, saying he had careless eating habits due to "the spring mood."

Annoyed by the unexpectedly high glycosylated hemoglobin, Lee Kyung-kyu yelled, "If sugar toxins are that important, we should have addressed this from the first episode! Why are we only talking about it now when everyone is suffering?!!" bringing laughter to the studio.

A dangerous warning about the new health indicator, "sugar toxins." You can check it out in "Lee Kyung-kyu's Amazing Habits," airing on Sunday, the 13th, at 8:35 a.m.
