The
glucose, like all of the nutrients, soon
gets absorbed
into the bloodstream creating a peak in what we call «blood sugar levels», which results with the releasing of more insulin from the pancreas in order to push
glucose to the
cells, basically «commanding» the
cells to open up and absorb it, where it
gets used as an energy source.

cell as well.

get back
into ketosis quickly but I worry about the cancer
cells feeding on the carb up
glucose
While it can't
get glucose into the
cells efficiently when they're in a state of insulin resistance, insulin still performs its other tasks, including converting carbohydrates to fat and inhibiting stored fat from being burned.
When less
glucose is able to
get into our
cells, this leads to strong carbohydrate cravings, a ravenous appetite and greater potential for fat storage due to the high level of circulating blood sugar [2][12].
If
glucose can not be stored or transported
into cell than you
get hyperglycemia and the resulting hyperinsulinemia creates hypertriglyceridemia.
When less
glucose is able to
get into our
cells, this leads to strong carbohydrate cravings, a ravenous appetite and greater potential for fat storage due to the high level of circulating blood sugar
I had thought that the bigger issue was not the fat on the body but the large fat in the meal, as «this fat» is the fat that impairs insulin's ability to
get glucose / sugars from foods
into the
cells.
As a result
glucose can't
get into cells and blood sugar becomes too high.
To
get the
glucose into your
cells, the sugar travels
into the bloodstream and triggers your pancreas to produce insulin.
When this happens your body becomes insulin resistant meaning you need more and more insulin to
get your
glucose out of the blood and
into your
cells.
Insulin is needed to
get the
glucose from your blood
into your
cells.
Carbohydrates
get broken down
into sugar (
glucose) in the digestive tract, then travel
into the blood and require insulin to
get shunted
into cells (including fat
cells).
When you eat food, it
gets broken down
into various molecules that your
cells can use like amino acids,
glucose, and fatty acids.
This is because when the body is unable to produce insulin (type I diabetics and extreme type II diabetics), it is unable to
get sugar or
glucose into the
cells.
Also, because
glucose can't
get into cells, blood sugar climbs too high.
You can imagine insulin as being an automatic gate that opens whenever fat,
glucose, and amino acids arrive to
get into your
cells.
Many
cells function better on ketones than
glucose, because ketones take less effort to
get into the mitochondria (which are our furnaces) than
glucose does.
When this happens it can be harder for
glucose to
get into cells resulting in higher blood sugar.
Cells require insulin to get glucose into the c
Cells require insulin to
get glucose into the
cellscells.
The trick is
getting that
glucose from your blood
into your
cells.
If the
glucose in your blood can't
get into the
cells, it stays in the blood and your body goes, «uh oh, I need to produce * more * insulin.

glucose to
get into your
cells.
Chronically high or imbalanced levels of blood sugar or «
glucose» means your body needs more insulin to allow
glucose to
get into your
cells.

glucose can
get into the
cells.
