cells become insensitive to the insulin, which is a hormone that is necessary for transport of blood
sugar (glucose)
into cells.

cells (the process that provides the
body with the energy it needs), but also helps transform starches and
sugars into energy forms that can be burned off through exercise.
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.
Once in the
cells, the
body stores
sugar as fat, because any
sugar energy not used is converted
into fat for later use.
Your
body does not want all that
sugar hanging around in the bloodstream, so it uses insulin to move it
into your
body's
cells.

body to create more insulin to remove the
sugar from the blood and
into the
body's
cells.
Prediabetes and diabetes are characterized by insulin resistance, a condition in which
body tissues are unresponsive to insulin and can not move
sugar efficiently
into cells to fuel normal metabolic processes.
During the night, newly released hormones might increase your
body's resistance to insulin, which ultimately impacts your
body's ability to absorb
sugar into the
cells, resulting in high
sugar levels in the blood.
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.
Insulin shunts blood
sugar into fat
cells and tells them to build and store
body fat.
The
body wants to move the
sugar out of the blood, so it uses insulin to move
sugar into the
cells.
It helps keep your blood glucose (
sugar) low, which would otherwise be toxic to your system, shuttling it off
into your
body's
cells to be used as energy instead.
In response to climbing blood
sugar, your
body produces insulin from the pancreas, which then puts the blood
sugar into your
cells.
The faster a food is converted
into blood
sugar (e.g. with high G.I. foods), the higher the blood
sugar levels get and the more insulin is secreted by the pancreas to help the
cells of your
body absorb the
sugar.
Too many
sugars and processed carbs cause the
body to overproduce insulin, a hormone that escorts glucose
into cells and helps regulate high blood
sugar.
Insulin's job in your
body is to transport
sugar from your bloodstream
into every
cell of your
body so that your
cells can produce energy and maintain healthy
cell function.
«Here's the problem: insulin is the hormone that escorts
sugar from your blood stream
into the
cells of the
body.
Your liver destroys old red blood
cells, manufactures proteins and blood - clotting agents, manufactures cholesterol, stores glycogen, fats and proteins, converts fats and proteins to carbohydrates and lactic acid to glucose, transforms galactose (milk
sugar)
into glucose, extracts ammonia from amino acids (proteins), converts ammonia to urea, produces bile, stores fat soluble vitamins, converts adipose fat
into ketone
bodies, and neutralizes pharmaceuticals and alcohol (14).
Epinephrine is a hormone produced by our adrenals which aims to prevent our
body's
cells from storing
sugar and turning it
into fat, and instead gear them towards releasing
sugar into the bloodstream.
Because you're on a
sugar burning metabolism, your
body lacks the ability to convert its own fat
cells into energy.
Elevated blood
sugar also places a heavy burden on the beta

sugar into the
body's
cells.

sugar or «glucose» means your
body needs more insulin to allow glucose to get
into your
cells.

body to respond by releasing insulin
into the blood stream — a hormone responsible for shuttling the broken down carbohydrates (which break
into molecules of
sugar)
into the
cells to be used for energy production (immediate or stored energy depending on what the

body then tries to produce more insulin to get the
sugar into the resistant
cells, and a cycle begins.
Insulin escorts
sugar out of the bloodstream and
into the
body's
cells.

When you eat carbohydrates, your
body breaks them down
into glucose, which is a simple
sugar molecule that your
cells process for energy.
New research is also showing that artificial sweeteners can «trick» your
