In this video, we’re going to take a look at high insulin vs. high glucose. First, it’s helpful to look at the chain of events leading to the development of high insulin and high glucose.
High insulin occurs first, which can develop into insulin resistance or prediabetes. Insulin resistance eventually develops into hyperglycemia or high blood glucose. If you have weak adrenals, you may develop hypoglycemia or low blood sugar because the high amounts of insulin are driving down your blood glucose levels. This may occur before hyperglycemia symptoms develop.
High insulin can have several negative effects on the body, including the following:
•Cardiac hypertrophy
•Thrombus development
•Inflammation
•Diabetes
•Fatty liver
•Obesity
•Cancer
•Alzheimer's
•Metabolic syndrome
•Retina damage
•Nerve damage
•Kidney damage
Focus on lowering insulin to prevent developing high glucose levels and other health problems.
