Low blood sugar levels common in type 1 and type to diabetes, Symptoms may be sweating ,trembling of hands and sometimes patient may go unconscious.

In this video I discuss what is blood sugar level, and what causes high and low blood sugar levels. We also look at insulin’s role in blood sugar levels, and some of the risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes.

Transcript (partial)

In this video we are going to discuss what blood sugar or blood glucose is, and why it is important.

Blood sugar level is the amount of glucose(sugar) present in the blood. Our body gets glucose from some of the foods we eat.

After the digestive process, the liver releases glucose into the bloodstream, sending it to cells to be used as energy. As glucose is released into the bloodstream, blood sugar levels rise. This triggers the pancreas to release the hormone insulin, which tells the cells to open up and let the glucose in, which lowers blood sugar levels.

Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. This process happens many times throughout the day after we eat.
A normal fasting (no food for 8 hours) blood sugar level is between 70 and 99mg/dl, and a normal level two hours after eating is less than 140mg/dl.

So, why is this important? Well, there are 3 main reasons we need to be aware of our blood sugar level.

The 1st reason is that high blood sugar levels can lead to type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is when the body doesn’t use insulin properly (insulin resistance), or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin. Over time, High blood sugar levels can put a lot of stress on the pancreas, possibly causing it to become permanently damaged. 95% of all diabetes cases in the US are type 2.

Researchers don’t fully understand why some people develop type 2 diabetes and others don’t. However, there are some factors that increase the risk.

-being overweight – the more fatty tissue you have, the more resistant your cells become to insulin.

-fat distribution – more fat storage in the abdomen increases the risk

-inactivity – Physical activity helps you control your weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes your cells more sensitive to insulin.

The 2nd reason we need to monitor our blood sugar levels is that High levels can also lead to atherosclerosis, which is hardening and narrowing of the arteries. This can block the arteries, putting blood flow at risk, which can lead to other problems.

The 3rd reason is low blood sugar levels, this is rare in non-diabetics. This can be caused by certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, and from meals high in refined carbs.

FREE report – 6 ways to tame your appetite and cravings
http://www.criticalbench.com/tamecravings/

Holistic Health Practitioner Tonya Fines discusses the impact of exercise on your blood sugar. For many people, they aren’t entirely sure what blood sugar or blood glucose levels are and why they’re important. Our activity has a tremendous effect on our bodily processes, how we feel and how we need to fuel our body prior to exercise.

When you exercise, your body requires energy from blood sugar … this is called glucose. When you do something quickly, like a sprint up the stairs your muscles and liver release glucose for fuel.

Now when you do moderate exercise for a longer time, like go on a long hike, your muscles require much more glucose. THIS helps lower blood sugar levels. Exercise lowers blood sugar over a 24-hour period, but sometimes exercise also briefly raises blood sugar following a workout.

Here’s how all of that works:

Overall, even moderate exercise, such as a nice walk, raises your heart rate, increases your breathing, and boosts muscle activity. All of these increases of your body’s systems need to be fueled, meaning, they require sugar. Some of this sugar comes from your bloodstream.

And some of it comes from glucose that is stored in your muscles and liver, and this is the key to the 24 hour blood sugar-lowering effect of exercise. Over the 24 hours following exercise your body re-stocks these reserves, slowly but steadily by sucking sugar out of your bloodstream.

So why then does exercise sometimes raise blood sugar for a short period of time? The most common way is from stress hormones. Any workout that’s greater than moderate is going to release adrenaline, which is basically pouring sugar into your system. But this doesn’t mean that that strenuous exercise is a bad thing, it just means you need to accept that you may see a slight increase in your blood sugar if you break a sweat.

The good news is that adrenaline is a short-acting sugar so your body will essentially clean it up quickly, and you’ll still get that 24 hour lowering effect from your exercise. Another reason as to how exercise can increase blood sugar has to do with the availability of insulin in your system.

If your insulin level is low, your body can’t move sugar from your blood into the cells where it’s needed. This means that your cells blind are not aware there is any sugar for them to use

When this happens they assume there is no sugar available to them so they send out signals for reserves in the liver and kidneys to be used. THIS causes a further increase in blood sugar levels that may already be too darn high to start with.

Diabetes often goes undiagnosed, because many of its symptoms seem so harmless. And in many cases, people with type-2 diabetes display no symptoms at all. For both type-1 and type-2 diabetes, there are several symptoms in common. Be sure to pay attention to the signals your body sends, and see your doctor if any of these symptoms start to appear.

There is a strong connection between type 2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. This animation describes the lipid abnormalities commonly seen in patients with type 2 diabetes: elevated levels of triglycerides, raised small dense LDL levels, increased glycation and oxidation of LDLs and reduction of HDLs. These factors increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cures for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have proved elusive to medical science. Although people with type 2 diabetes can go into remission, at this stage there is no widely available, complication-free cure for type 1 diabetes.

Robert Lustig – What is Metabolic Syndrome Anyway?

From the JumpstartMD Weight of the Nation Conference 2018

JumpstartMD is a medical practice dedicated to pre-emptive medicine through lifestyle changes and healthy, sustainable weight loss. Personalized program based on proven nutritional science, one-on-one lifestyle counseling and real, fresh food. Founded by Stanford trained physicians and board-certified Diplomates of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. PPO, HSA and FSA reimbursement support provided to patients.

With a strong commitment to reducing the quality and quantity of carbohydrates consumed, the stigmata of metabolic syndrome and fatty liver disease can reverse even before weight loss although much more dramatically in combination. For example, with as little as 10 percent weight loss, which 95 percent of our clients achieve at 6 months, NAFLD (Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease) is often reversed. Cost wise, patients without NAFLD show a 26 percent lowering in their health costs over 5 years.

But more importantly, with pre-emptive elimination of fatty liver disease, there’s no need to see the transplant surgeon. The prescription is simply guiding and supporting people toward healthy lifestyle changes that work to preempt diseases like fatty liver disease or the others that go along with it: diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, metabolic syndrome, various cancers, and arguably dementia. The improvements are dramatic, transformational, and utterly sensible.

JumpstartMD has convenient weight loss centers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, from Marin to Monterey and San Francisco to Pleasanton. Our offices have a range of services and hours to help support your goals and lifestyle.

Below are very safe supplements shown to improve insulin sensitivity
-Vitamin D
-Magnesium
-Chromium
-Cinnamon
-Apple cider vinegar
-Fish oil
-Tumeric
-Zinc
-Exercise/muscle contraction upregulates Glucose transporters in an insulin-independent fashion lowering blood glucose!

Personally, I believe excessive positive energy balance (obesity+sedentary), coupled with a genetic predisposition towards ectopic fat deposition and beta cell susceptibility for lipotoxicity, are major factors leading to insulin resistance.

VLDL — pancreas fat
Hypertrophic adipose tissue — lpl modification — higher residence time
Hypertrophic adipose tissue — Lipolysis — liver beta oxidation — Gluconeogensis
GWAS — susceptible to pancreas damage — T2D
Subcutaneous hypertrophy — macrophage release Lipolysis THF-alpha & IL-6 — Lipolysis — DAG in liver — PKC epsilon in liver
