The muscle cells build up a resistance to insulin, so the body produces more and more in an attempt to maintain the transport
of glucose to the cells for energy.
It may also have a stimulating effect on the pancreas to promote the production of insulin, the molecule that
carries glucose to cells.
The compounds in turmeric have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity which allows the body to deliver
glucose to cells more effectively and prevent massive fluctuations in the blood (3).
The symptoms of diabetes, however subtle or apparent, are caused by both the reduction in the delivery
of glucose to the cells and the elevated blood levels of glucose that is unused.
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.
Of those 159 participants, virtually all were found to have heightened levels of adiponectin, a hormone that is intended to be helpful by helping the body use insulin in the delivery of fuels
like glucose to cells throughout the body.
As a result, your pancreas starts pumping out more insulin, which is responsible for the transport
of glucose to the cells, where it is either stored as fat, or burned as a fuel.
Pancreas releases insulin to provide steady flow of
glucose to the cells.
It is our speculation by maintaining high insulin sensitivity, when carbohydrates are brought back during competition the slight insulin response actually speeds delivery of
glucose to cells and conversion of glucose to ATP without seriously impacting high level fat metabolism.
In diabetes, the body can't use the glucose for energy because it needs insulin to move
the glucose to the cells.
You can think about glucose as the postman, carrying
the glucose to the cells, knocking on the «door» of the cell (the insulin receptor on the cell membrane) to make the delivery of glucose.
Erratic electrical discharge from the brain doesn't allow for the efficient distribution of oxygen and
glucose to the cells of the brain.
