If you consistently eat foods that raise your blood sugar well above normal levels and your body doesn’t produce enough insulin to process all the glucose, this can lead to the following in the long term:
- High blood pressure
- Increased insulin levels in the blood (fat storage, cholesterol, inflammation, etc.)
- Elevated levels of triglycerides (TG) and cholesterol in the blood
- Increased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease
- Increased oxidative stress
- The kidneys, nerves, and eyes are adversely affected
- The aging process can be accelerated
The interaction between blood sugar and insulin
Post-meal insulin levels often follow the glucose response.
Blood sugar levels affect how we feel.
The vicious circle
