What you should know

Always consult a qualified healthcare professional — your GP, endocrinologist, registered dietitian, or other licensed practitioner — before:

• Making changes to your diet
• Starting or stopping any supplement
• Adjusting any prescribed medication
• Beginning a new exercise routine
• Acting on anything you read here

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately. Nothing on this site should be used as a substitute for professional medical care.

Mr Blood Sugar is an educational brand. We translate research into plain English. We are not your doctor, and we don't pretend to be.

This website contains affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.

What this means in plain English

• The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or not
• The commission helps fund the work that goes into producing free educational content
• Affiliate income does not influence our editorial standards

Our standard for what we recommend

Every product we mention must meet a baseline:

• Peer-reviewed evidence indexed on PubMed, PubMed Central, or NCBI
• A clear mechanism we can explain in plain English
• A reputable manufacturer with verifiable quality standards
• No medical claims on the product's own labelling

If a product can't pass that bar, we don't recommend it — regardless of how high the commission is. That's the deal.

Affiliate networks we work with

We may participate in affiliate programs run by Amazon Associates, iHerb, ClickBank, and direct manufacturer programs. This is not an exhaustive list. Where required, we identify affiliate links clearly within content.

This complies with

• FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (United States)
• NZ Fair Trading Act 1986 requirements for disclosed material connections

Always do your own research before purchasing anything. We can show you the evidence — but the decision is yours.

Where we feature testimonials or quotes from readers, listeners, or customers:

• They are real, voluntarily shared, and used with permission
• They reflect individual experiences, which vary
• They are not a guarantee of similar results for you

Individual results from any habit, supplement, or product depend on countless variables — genetics, baseline health, consistency, and factors no one fully controls. Treat all testimonials as one person's story, not a promise.

Email communications

If you join our email list, every email we send will include:

• Clear identification of who the email is from
• A valid contact address
• A working one-click unsubscribe link
• Honest, non-misleading subject lines

You will only receive emails after you have explicitly opted in. We comply with the NZ Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 and the US CAN-SPAM Act.

Telegram bot

Our Telegram bot (@Mrbloodsugar_bot) provides general educational information and may share affiliate recommendations. The bot:

• Does not provide medical advice
• Does not collect or store sensitive health data
• Discloses affiliate relationships where relevant
• Encourages you to consult a qualified professional for medical decisions

Treat anything the bot says the same way you'd treat anything else on this site — as general education, not personalised advice.

We use AI tools as part of our content workflow — for research, drafting, and producing visuals. Every piece of content is reviewed by a human before it goes live. AI-generated content is held to the same standards as everything else: educational framing, no medical claims, no guaranteed outcomes.

The Mr Blood Sugar character is an animated educational mascot. The character is not a real person, not a doctor, and not a medical authority. He's a calm guide who explains research in plain English.
