Glucose is a simple sugar (a monosaccharide). Our body produces it from protein, fat and, in largest part, carbohydrate. Glucose, transported via the bloodstream, is the primary source of energy for the body's cells. Insulin will helps to regulate blood glucose level and promotes glycogen storage. Insulin will transport glucose out of the blood and into the cells in the body, where the glucose can be used as energy and nourishment. Note : Normally, blood glucose levels stay within narrow limits throughout the day: 4 to 8mmol/l (70 to 150 mg/dl). Usually lowest in the morning , but levels rise after meals.
A person can contribute to the deterioration of his digestive system by observing poor eating habits that leads to improper digestion. When the digestive system fails to break down food the right way, large molecules which the body cannot process are absorbed. Consequently, the bloodstream is blocked and our body stores much of the sugar it produced instead of using it up. Low blood sugar may be an indication of hypoglycemia and high blood sugar may be a symptom of hyperglycemia which causes many of the long-term health problems associated with diabetes. |
