What Happens When Blood Glucose is Too High or Too Low?

Glucose is a sugar that we obtain from food that circulates within our blood. We use this sugar as our body's main source of energy. When we consume food, the sugar enters our body and moves from our digestive system to our blood stream. When our blood sugar concentrations increase, insulin is released from the pancreas and into our bloodstream. Insulin moves glucose from our blood into our cells, as this process happens our blood glucose levels return to normal.Excess glucose gets stored in our liver and muscles as glycogen. Glycogen helps our body remain in a stable state of homeostasis. Our cells need insulin and glucose to remain healthy. Too much or too little blood glucose to ....

Why Managing Blood Sugar Is Critical to All

Long term blood sugar management is critical to health, as well as to body composition. Management of our blood sugar can prevent diseases such as type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and lower the risk of cardiovascular events. Blood sugar levels fluctuate throughout the day, which is perfectly normal but it is important to maintain this at normal level. Times throughout the time of overeating, especially high glycemic foods, or long periods of no eating can place stress on our bodies and cause our levels to drop quickly.

Joan A.

I've been with Genesis for almost four years, with 8 months of it being during the pandemic. The staff is terrific and really customizes workouts and weight loss plans for each client. A special shoutout to Megan who kept me motivated and active, remotely, for the last eight months! But my best story - the workouts and weight loss allowed me to become flexible enough that I could get down on the floor to play with my granddaughter, and to crawl under my home office desk to fix the computer wiring! Success to me! Best money I have ever spent on weight loss and exercise.

Judy A.

I love Genesis. It's been about 3 yrs. that I have been a member. It has the most professional staff that I have been lucky enough to work with. You are not a number, you are a name as soon as you walk in the door. The great part is that when you are there the trainer is right at your elbow to make sure you are doing the process properly. The same professional staff has been there for many years which is a good sign of a properly run business. Give it a trial test, you'll come back.
