What do you guys know about the connection between amino acids and blood glucose regulation? I've been taking amino acids and have noticed that my blood sugars have been running much lower lately. I am actually going to lower my insulin dosage tomorrow because I have been having a few lows. I am curious if it is because the amino acids have a really good amino acid profile and added glycine. I know that amino acids like glutamine increase insulin sensitivity... Any ideas? Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by BeFit4Free; 05-04-2010 at 08:30 PM. |

| Diabetes mellitus type 1 is caused by insufficient or non-existent production of insulin, while type 2 is primarily due to a decreased response to insulin in the tissues of the body (insulin resistance). Both types of diabetes, if untreated, result in too much glucose remaining in the blood (hyperglycemia) and many of the same complications. Also, too much insulin and/or exercise without enough corresponding food intake in diabetics can result in low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). |
