INSULINE is required for the glucose to be used by the muscle; a lack of insuline translates into a condition, a desease called diabetes mellitus;
Insulin plays a crucial role in facilitating the utilization of sugar (glucose) by muscle cells.
When you consume food, especially carbohydrates, your blood glucose levels rise.Insulin acts as a key regulator in this process. It binds to specific receptors on the surface of muscle cells, initiating a cascade of events.
- Once the insulin molecule docks onto the receptor, it signals the muscle cell to open up glucose transporters (such as GLUT4).
- These transporters allow glucose to enter the muscle fibers from the bloodstream. Essentially, insulin acts as a “key” that unlocks the door for glucose to move into the muscle cells.
and questions from the physician about this problem.
-Do you follow a diabetic diet with low refined sugars ?
-How about your appetite ? Has your appetite increased ? decreased ?
-Has your weight remained constant ?
-Have you lost weight ?
-Are you often thirsty ?
-Do you drink excessive volumes of water ?
-How much urine do you pass each time you go to the toilet ? a big amount, or reduced quantity, a few drops ?
-Do you happen to faint ? Do you often faint ?
-You have had a blood test recently: how high is your sugar level?
-Have you had your "A one c" tested? (A1c is A1c hemoglobine: ""l'hémoglobine glyquée"" in french.)
quiz:
1 After physical activity, muscle cells become less receptive to insulin, preventing efficient glucose uptake.
2 The more you eat sugars, the better you feel and the more energetic, and full of stamina, without risk of any side effects. Sugar is essential for the brain, the brain only needs sugar.
3 In conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes, there can be defects in insulin signaling or reduced insulin sensitivity. As a result, muscle cells may struggle to take up glucose efficiently, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.
