    Glucose or carbohydrates or larger sugars?? Around 1:20-1:35. I’m confused. Huh? Thank you

    • @lilyjr.1384
      @lilyjr.1384 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hunter W No, not all of those things.
      Complex carbs such as starch will break down into glucose, as they are composed of glucose molecules bonded together.
      Not every carb will break down into glucose, as fructose is a single molecule of sugar, (just like glucose); containing NO other sugars. A small amount will be converted into glucose when it is phosphorylated by the liver, however. Also fiber is a carb, but is indigestible; so it just passes out the body.
      Technically the body “burns” fat AND sugar, though this is really dependent on the context.

    • @lilyjr.1384
      @lilyjr.1384 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Glucose is a carbohydrate, as are all sugars.
      Not sure what he was trying to say with “larger sugars”, perhaps in reference to the starch; even though it is not sugar itself, but a long chain of bonded sugar molecules.

    • @nory7684
      @nory7684 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      When he says “larger sugars” …i think his talking about the “saccharides” which is what sugar is and there are different forms of it…theres monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides….glucose is an example of a monosaccharide…lactose is an example of a disaccharide which is a larger sugar molecule…in fact most of the diet we eat consists of disaccharides and the body breaks it down to monosaccharides…its rare you’ll get a diet with just a monosaccharide alone…dextrose might be the only one which you get from corn

    This presentation really amazing, also with more information,
    Unfortunately, most presentations or articles about diabetes or insulin are not mentioning the condition in which some kind of glucose does not require insulin to enter the cell, (B-Cell 7:08).
    I think this is a same when we eat honey because this is what I noticed when using a pure honey for our patient the blood sugar really didn’t increase and maybe because the honey consists of fructose more, we hope that the dietitians and doctors prescribe a plan for diabetics in order they can benefit from honey instead of advising diabetic patient definitely to avoid honey despite the great benefits from honey that the body really need it especially that honey contains natural Antioxidants and many benefits.

    • @lilyjr.1384

      Yeah, honey has a lower glycemic index because it mostly contains fructose out of all the sugars.

  • @mtarpo
    @mtarpo 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There is a lot of information about insulin and insulin spikes... so say you start eating a ketogenic diet, does the release of glucagon get interfered with? The pancreas can get exhausted making all that insulin, is that true about glucagon? What supports the glucagon release other than low blood sugar? When I have low blood sugar, instead of having a bit of orange juice to externally raise blood sugar, I want to keep that glucagon pathway working efficiently, how can I do that? Eat protein and some fat and be patient, maybe rest, until my blood sugar normalizes?

  • @RAZR_Channel
    @RAZR_Channel 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    5:47 - Maybe I'm just stupid... so can someone help me out. The bottom line question for me is What does insulin Do... and although this presentation is Very detailed... The bottom line question is unclear because there is a double negative statement at 5:47 which indicates that insulin both tells cells to both absorb and release glucose.
    So... the question remains: Does the amount of insulin in the blood lower... or Raise the level of glucose?
    And although the answer may be within the presentation perhaps it would be better stated as: More insulin = lower glucose... or more insulin raises it. I believe the former to be correct.... But I'm not sure...

    • @RAZR_Channel
      @RAZR_Channel 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Never mind... got it... according to wiki... insulin Lowers glucose/blood sugar. Still it took 30 results of google to find the answer. Every result takes a 1 mile dive into the situation... and while that may be beneficial to understanding the complete situation... I arrived at this video by asking a yes or no question.

    لسوء الحظ، فإن معظم العروض أو المقالات المتعلقة بمرض السكري أو الأنسولين لا تذكر الحالة التي لا يحتاج فيها الجلوكوز للأنسولين كي يدخل للخلية، (B-خلية 7:08).
    وأعتقد أن هذا هو نفس ما يحصل عندما نأكل العسل لأنني لاحظت فعلا أنه عند استخدام العسل الخالص لمريضنا بالسكري فإن السكر لا يرتفع في الدم ربما لأن العسل يتكون من الفركتوز أكثر، آمل أن يصف أخصائيي التغذية والأطباء خطة لمرضى السكري لجعلهم يستفيدون من منافع العسل بدلا من تأكيدهم بشكل قاطع على تجنبه على الرغم من الفوائد العظيمة التي يحتوي عليها العسل والتي فعلا يحتاجها الجسم خاصة أن العسل يحتوي على مضادات الأكسدة الطبيعية والعديد من الفوائد.

    fat causes insulin resistance How does fat cause insulin resistance?
    The scans showed researchers that higher fat levels in the blood caused insulin resistance by interfering with glucose transport into the muscles. This can happen within three hours. One hit of fat can start causing insulin resistance, inhibiting glucose uptake after just 160 minutes.
