- Fasting Blood Glucose Level: 95 mg/dl.
- Weight: 189ish
- Exercise: 45 minute of a pleasant ride. Okay I dogged it a bit, but so what.
- Mood: 8.5. It hits 9.5 at 5 o'clock in the PM.
- Breakfast: Breakfast fruit salad, one banana, one Texas Rio Star grapefruit and about 1/2 cup of strawberries, one slice of leftover pizza from last night.
- Lunch: Red beans and rice and an orange. Lent, you know, Friday's no meat.
- Dinner: Grilled Catfish
- Snacks: A few almonds and a Chewy bar. The bar was too sweet for me, but really all that high in sugar.
It's possible that a protein produced by the fat cells surrounding other cells may inhibit glucose absorption according to a study. This protein acts like a guard by blocking stopping all attempts of the glucose molecules to get absorbed by other cell.
The study was conducted on rats, but I am going to guess the same applies to humans.
This fat produced protean just goes back to my rule of lose the fat, lose the problem. No fat, no glucose guard. This discovery does suggest a new possible therapy to treat type two diabetes by developing a drug, I guess, to regulate the bodies production of this p75NTR.
In the long run, I think it would be easier and cheaper just to lose weight. Even better would be to just to not get fat at all. You can read about it here.
