Could your daily sugar intake be silently sabotaging your skin? In this episode of Live with the Eczema Doc, Dr. Fong breaks down the powerful connection between sugar, inflammation, and eczema—and why even “healthy” sugars could be causing flare-ups.

You’ll learn:

• Why all types of sugar—including carbs and fruit—can impact eczema
• How insulin resistance and blood sugar spikes fuel chronic inflammation
• The shocking link between eczema and type 2 diabetes (and what that means for your skin)
• How sugar affects your gut microbiome and contributes to leaky gut
• The best ways to balance your plate to keep blood sugar stable (hint: it’s not just about cutting carbs!)
• How to eat your meals in the right order to prevent flares
• Easy swaps and sugar-conscious meals for eczema healing
• Testing options: glucose, A1C, HOMA-IR, and continuous glucose monitors

Whether you're struggling with flare-ups, navigating your child’s eczema, or just curious about how sugar could be playing a hidden role, this episode gives you practical steps and science-backed insights to take control of your health—starting with your plate.
