While the study did not include people with diabetes, and you can't simply extrapolate their findings, there's no reason why it would not also apply to someone with reasonably well-controlled diabetes. For your information, glucose is not transported through the bloodstream with the help of insulin; rather, insulin sends a signal into skeletal muscle that opens the gates allowing glucose to enter and be stored by the muscle. Skeletal muscle is the body's major glucose 'sink' you might say. The brain, however, does not require insulin to utilise glucose.GI Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609354784645028388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-86812032733487448072008-06-02T10:13:00.000+10:002008-06-02T10:13:00.000+10:00I miss the correlation to diabetics whose system i...I miss the correlation to diabetics whose system is not or nearly able to transport (new) glucose energy through the body by lack of insulin and by sheer body weight. Are these people ill performing all the time?Ron de Weijzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135626951792092605noreply@blogger.com
