Glucose Intolerant and
Elevated Blood Sugar

Glucose intolerant people can also be referred to as Pre Diabetic and should follow some sort of Insulin Resistance Treatment.

Glucose is a simple sugar that your body and especially your brain uses for energy. Mainly to be found in foods that contain carbohydrates or sweeteners.

This sugar provides energy for your muscles and helps with brain functions such as learning and memory.

You might think it's okay to indulge in carbohydrates, because it's good for your brain.

However while a little glucose seems to be a good thing, too much will create elevated blood sugar and eventually insulin resistance.

Elevated Blood Sugar Leads to...

Normally, after consuming foods rich in carbohydrates your blood sugar will rise and this causes your pancreas to pump out insulin.

Insulin is what controls your blood sugar and brings it back to normal.

When your body becomes intolerant of this simple sugar, the receptors in the membranes of your cells are preventing glucose from entering.

Therefore, your body becomes what is termed "insulin resistant".

People that can't tolerate glucose are also considered pre diabetic.

Insulin Resistance Treatment Tips
