These trends may be explained in part
by the yo - yo effects that

high blood glucose levels and insulin resistance may lead to long - term complications.
If the level of
glucose in our bloodstream is too
high, our body stores the extra
glucose as fat and the insulin — secreted
by the pancreas in reaction to
high blood sugar — signals the body to stop burning fat altogether.
In this way, insulin sensitivity is defined
by how much insulin is needed to store
blood glucose within the cells of the body — healthy people need a much smaller amount of insulin to store a certain amount of
glucose than insulin resistant individuals, and the latter have
higher levels of both
blood glucose and insulin.

Blood Glucose higher than 126 mg / dL, which ranges between 100 - 125 mg / dL are considered pre-diabetic and ranges below 99 mg / dL are considered normal.
As I mentioned earlier, the true culprit underlying
high blood glucose is insulin - resistance, caused
by muscle and liver cells clogged with fat.
Depression, a common form of chronic stress, causes hyperactive responses to stress and a chronically elevated levels of cortisol, which undoubtedly will lead to a chronically elevated level of
blood sugar.23 We already know that cancer cells are fueled
by glucose and people with

When
blood sugars plummet dramatically — as they always do after the insulin surge that accompanies
high - carb eating — cortisol will rush to save the brain from «starvation»
by sending a signal to convert amino and fatty acids into
glucose (the brain's primary fuel).
If the excess
blood sugar isn't used, shortly thereafter our pancreas reacts to reduce the
high the
blood sugar
by increasing production of insulin and stores the extra
glucose as fat.
The resulting increased nerve activity causes the release of adrenaline, which leads to effects such as a

Most experts agree on the fact that in diabetic patients treated with insulin, the substitution of dietary carbohydrates having a
high glycemic index or
high glycemic load

by increasing keratin production, and leads to free radicals called AGEs being generated in the bloodstream.
High - glycemic carbs are mostly simple carbohydrates that digest rapidly and create a quick hike in the
blood glucose levels, followed
by a hike of insulin to pack those
glucose molecules into the fat cells.
Extrapolated to conditions of postprandial elevation in
blood glucose and insulin (particularly after a
high - carbohydrate meal), de novo lipogenesis in skeletal muscle, like in the liver, could also contribute to
blood glucose homeostasis
by disposing some of the excess circulating
glucose as muscle triglycerides, particularly if the glycogen stores are full.
When we are ingesting too much
glucose by eating sugars (dairy products are also sugar), refined grains, or other carbohydrate - rich foods lacking in fibre, it leads to
high blood sugar levels, which our body can't break down and stores as fat.
It does this
by analyzing how much
glucose is attached to your red

higher your average
blood sugar levels have been.
This happens because
high levels of free
