Diabetes Feedback: in type 2 insulin ( the hormone which utilizes glucose ) is high but tissues are less sensitive to it
therefore glucose is less utilized by the body
glucose is the source of energy
his energy levels are low
so he eats alot
glucose storage is limited to a certain amount , and the rest are either disposed or turned into fat
insulin prevents lipolysis (fat breakdown)
then fat builds up.
and triglycerides are forms of fat
Diabetes Feedback: Ninjako is right, nuf said.
