The Relationship BetweenCarbohydrate and Blood Sugar• The digestive system converts most digestiblecarbohydrates into glucose (also known as bloodsugar)• Cells are designed to use this as a universalenergy source• As blood sugar levels rise, in a non-diabeticindividual beta cells in the pancreas churn outmore and more insulin, a hormone that signalscells to absorb blood sugar for energy or storage
Carbohydrate and Blood Sugar inDiabetes• People with type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does notmake any insulin so their cells can't absorb sugar• People with type 2 diabetes the pancreas does not makeenough insulin or the insulin is not effective because thecells are insulin resistant• Carbohydrates begin to raise blood glucose withinapproximately 5 minutes after initiation of food intake• Carbohydrates are converted to nearly 100% bloodglucose within about two hours
