Thanks Ron. I am pretty familiar with the insulin & The Zone. And I always eat protein with everything- I hate eggs but they are my morning ritual. I can't find anything on the web that says your blood sugar goes down immediately after eating. (about 20 min)
Low glucose = glucagon secretion increases.
Glucose = stimulates insulin and inhibits the secretion of glucagon from the liver.
Glycogenolysis: hydrolysis of the liver glycogen. When fasting, when glucagon secretion is high & insulin secretion is low, liver glycogen is used as a source of additional blood glucose.
Epinephrine = increases catabolism of glycogen into glucose in the liver. The metabolic effects of epinephrine are similar to those of glucagon. Both stimulate glycogenolysis and the release of glucose from the liver.
Norepinephrine = helps in converting glucogen to glucose in the liver. Causes glucose to be release as energy & blood flow to the muscles
Prolonged fasting = Cortisol secretion = supports the effects of glucagon & decreased insulin.
Glucagon & and Cortisol stimulate the production of enzymes of the liver that convert amino acids to pyruvic acid and then to glucose.Im guessing that my higher norepinephrine that is supporting glucagon may have some influence/confusion on the increase in glucose and/or insulin? My weird system predisposes me. But I did find: Dexedrine may alter blood sugar levels and alter insulin requirements with diabetesmay experience abrupt rises in blood sugar. So they are probably related.
