If you have been told that your blood sugar is borderline, now — before starting medication — is the opportunity for management.

It is not diabetes yet, but the stage when blood sugar rises little by little is a sign that your metabolic regulatory capacity has begun to waver. If you turn the flow back around during this period, you can greatly reduce the burden.

  • Fasting blood sugar is at a borderline level
  • Post-meal drowsiness and abdominal obesity come together

I see this period as an opportunity to restore the rhythm of metabolism as a whole.

Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD

A graduate of the College of Korean Medicine at Kyung Hee University, with master's and doctoral degrees in pathology — the mechanisms of disease — from its graduate school. Later served as a research professor in the university's Herbology department, studying medicinal substances. Studying both disease and medicine from both sides is the foundation of this practice: explaining "why a given medicine works for a given illness" in the language of both pathology and pharmacology. Explains autonomic, chronic, and intractable conditions — and structural problems of the body — in the language of modern science, and proposes treatment matched to the cause. Has taught prescribing and clinical practice to Korean medicine doctors for over ten years, and is a co-author of "Korean Medicine, Explained by Korean Medicine Doctors," selected for the 2018 Sejong Books list (general category).
