Complex Carbohydrates
10
The Role Of Carbohydrates ■ Your body converts ALL simple & complex carbs to Glucose ■ Glucose: a simple sugar that’s the main source of energy for our bodies ■ The glucose that is not used is stored in the liver and muscles as a starch-like substance called; glycogen. ■ When your body needs more energy the glycogen is converted back to glucose. ■ Excess carbs taken in and not used are converted to body fat
11
Diabetes ■ The pancreas makes the right amount of insulin to move glucose out from the blood to the cells. ■ Insulin: helps glucose enter the body’s cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for future use. ■ Type 1: the body’s immune system begins destroying the cells of the pancreas that produces insulin. ■ Type 2: Over time, the body loses the ability to create enough insulin in response to meals.
