Glucose is what all carbs, sugars, extra amino acids, free fatty acids are turned into when in excess.
Glucose triggers insulin, over production of insulin causes insulin resistance which leads to diabetes.
If you are suffering from ME/CFS and have not recovered you will not be exercising to burn extra calories in the muscle.
Sugar/carbs/glucose over consumption is driving ill health globally, leads to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Approx 33% of UK/USA have fatty liver. Insulin resistance and diabetes is increasing year on year.
So I do not agree with your perspective, sorry.
thats not correct, some amino acids and fats can convert to sugar, but its a pretty expensive process converting proteints to sugar, often using up more energy then it actually brings. amino acids for energy use is the worst form for the body to utilize.
glucose triggers insulin. so does protein and other combinations of fat and proteins and or sugar.
a healthy body does not overproduce insulin. and an overproduction of insulin isnt equal to insulin resistence.
the problem is too much supply for the cells, if they cannot handle it, they will close up and lower insulin receptors = resistence.
i do not see any logic in this, for me its the total carb load. the body must get rid of it, if he gets more carbs than he can process there is a problem. if he can process it, there is not.
there is no proof that glucose is driving anything. there is proof that HCFS and fructose are driving diabetes which is pretty sure. also normal sugar which is a 50/50 combo of glucose and fructose can potentially make problems, but also the fructose is the problem here. its not the glucose molecule.
exercise has nothing to do if glucose causes diabetes or not. this is wrong argument!
exercise increases demands on energy and therefore improved utilization of glucose. but not just through insulin because moving muscles pick up glucose without need for insulin. its independent mechanism.
the only thing exercise does, is increase demand for energy and driving up calories need.
if you do not exercise and do not take too much calories this does not apply. its completely irrelevant.
a lot of sick people do not exercise and are underweight because metabolism is broken.
average american eats highly industrialized processed foods and a BIG FAT sur PLUS in calories, they consume too much. including trans fats and other things like HCFS which are proofen to cause diabetes and other disease.
american coka contains HCFS, european coke contains sugar... guess who is healthier.
the real driver for diabetes is inflammation caused by many things, but especially HCFS, trans fats and processed foods. inflammation causes insulin resistence.
you present old "knowledge" a lot of doctors still repeat, its wrong. glucose does not directly cause diabetes.
overconsumption of calories can!
so if one is too take glucose for any reason, its important to not go over daily calories demands unless trying to gain weight and to not take too much at once.
some people are hypersensitive to insulin, they can become hypoglycemic with taking sugar. so its important to know your own body.
