What can I do to lower blood pressure before test?
Your body is designed to keep the level of glucose in
your blood constant. Beta cells in your pancreas monitor
your blood sugar level every few seconds. When your blood glucose
rises after you eat, the beta cells release insulin into your bloodstream.
Insulin acts like a key, unlocking muscle, fat, and liver cells so Glucose can get
inside them. Most of the cells in your body use glucose along with amino acids
(the building blocks of protein) and fats for energy. But it's the main source
of fuel for your brain. Nerve cells and chemical messengers there need it
to help them process information. Without it, your brain wouldn't be
able to work well. After your body has used the energy it needs, the leftover
glucose is stored in little bundles called glycogen in the liver and
muscles. Your body can store enough to fuel you for about a day.
