That’s strange because I thought this has been a known fact for quite a while. My husband was diagnosed with Type 2 a few years ago. His blood sugar wasn’t extremely high but was more of a borderline high. The doctor told him that if he increased exercise and dropped 40lbs that it would probably go back to normal levels. He did and it did. His sugar levels are normal now and have stayed good consistently for the past year. I realize that this doesn’t happen all cases but they have known that it can happen.
I have the opposite problem. If I don’t eat approximately every two hours mine drops too low.
IIRC, the insulin attaches to receptors on the cells. If the blood sugar then drops, I guess that would be the trigger that causes the insulin to unattach or degrade.
If the blood sugar remains high, then the body just keeps pumping out more insulin that basically has no effect because the cells are already “triggered”.
Insulin seems to be a defense mechanism of sorts that is used to keep your blood from getting to sugary and turning into something that resembles Karo corn syrup. The only conclusion from looking at the way it works is that the NORMAL body status is to have the blood sugar be quite low.
The ABNORMAL, UNHEALTHY status is to eat four Snickers bars in a row or a quart of ice cream then fall asleep on the couch...
BTW, luv yur tag line!
I never trusted anybody if my dog didn’t like them!
