Answer:

The metabolism of people with diabetes is almost identical to the metabolism of people without diabetes. The only difference is the volume and/or effectiveness of the insulin produced by the body. The metabolism process is as follows. Food is consumed.

The metabolism of people with diabetes differs to the metabolism of people without it. In type 2 diabetes, the effectiveness of insulin is reduced and in type 1 diabetes, insulin levels in the body are very low.

For this reason, type 1 diabetics require insulin delivery from other methods. Insulin resistance, most common in pre-diabetes. metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, impairs the body’s ability to metabolise glucose.

Consequently blood sugars become elevated, weight gain is more likely and the resistance to insulin becomes greater.

WHAT IS METABOLISM?
Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that take place inside the cells of living organisms which are essential for life. For the purposes of this guide, metabolism refers to the processes that occur in the body once food is eaten.

THE METABOLISM PROCESS
The metabolism of people with diabetes is almost identical to the metabolism of people without diabetes. The only difference is the volume and/or effectiveness of the insulin produced by the body.

The metabolism process is as follows.

Food is consumed
Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose – by saliva and the gut
Glucose enters the bloodstream
Pancreas responds to the presence of food by releasing stored insulin (phase 1 insulin response)
Insulin allows glucose from the blood to enter into the body’s cells – where the glucose can be used for fuel
Insulin also allows glucose to be stored by muscles and the liver as glycogen
If needed, the stored glycogen can later by returned to the blood as glucose
If there is glucose remaining in the blood, insulin turns this glucose into saturated body fat.
Proteins in the meal also get broken down into glucose to some degreen, however, this is a much slower process than it is with carbohydrates.
After the body’s initial release of insulin, the beta cells in the pancreas start to develop new insulin which can be released as well. This is known as the phase 2 insulin response.
As mentioned above, if glucose is taken from the blood to the point where blood sugar levels start to approach a low level, the body releases glucagon.
Glucagon works to change the stored glycogen into glucose which is released into the blood stream.
