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.

pasta


As innocent as this pasta dish looks, it will send your blood sugar soaring. It would be a better option to use a whole grain pasta which would not spike your blood sugar as much.

There are so many interesting types of pastas coming to the marketplace now that the gluten free revolution is here.

Elevated Blood Sugar Leads to...

Glucose intolerance is when your blood sugar remains high after eating.

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

The carbohydrate foods that break down the quickest, are the ones that will cause a sharp rise in your blood sugar levels.

Watch your consumption of high glycemic foods, foods high in fructose, and add more low glycemic foods into your diet.

Consuming foods that keep your blood sugar steady throughout the day, will give you more energy and less problems.

Exercise plus eating balanced and timely meals also helps.
