 * heart

= = =__Dangers of To Much Glucose__=

To much glucose sugar will increase your blood sugar level. After. Too much glucose also cause your insulin level to rise. If over a long period of time to much sugar is consumed the body begins to become resistant to insulin. This causes cells to not use glucose in the proper way that then causes the sugar to accumulate in the blood. This condition is referred to type 2 diabetes. =__Dangers of To Little Glucose__=

= = When a person does not get enough glucose they can become hypoglycemic. When this happens you have symptoms such as fainting or convulsions. Hypoglycemic is easy to treat but if not taken care of quickly, serious reactions may occur.
