In a person with impaired insulin function, gluconeogenesis results
in high levels of blood sugar and initiates tissue damage associated with T2DM (type 2 diabetes)[4, 8].
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says more than 9 percent of the U.S. population has diabetes and an estimated 50 percent of people with diabetes have some form of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage caused
by high levels of blood sugar, although not all have symptoms.
It is characterized in people who have at least three of five common issues that raise health concerns — excess abdominal fat, high blood pressure, low «good» cholesterol, and / or
high levels of blood sugar and triglycerides.
Also, the researchers found that the lower the lowest oxygen saturation level measured,
the higher the level of blood sugar on the fasting blood glucose test.
People with type 1 diabetes need insulin injections to survive, and like all people with diabetes, are at risk for complications such as heart disease, blindness, nerve damage, and kidney damage due to
high levels of blood sugar.
The quicker a carbohydrate is released into blood stream,
the higher the levels of blood sugar and insulin in the body.
This leads to
high levels of blood sugar, which the body doesn't like and will try to oppose with higher insulin levels.
For example, if
a high level of blood sugar didn't increase insulin release, and insulin didn't suppress leptin, the cells might start burning that fat instead of the sugar.
Higher levels of blood sugar is one of the simplest ways your body packs on the pounds.
High levels of blood sugar can cut circulating testosterone by as much as 25 %.
