The striking thing about this system is that it's not especially picky about the identity of the molecules it links into the polymer. So far, over 150 different small molecules have been found ...

Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that prevents the body from absorbing two simple sugars: glucose and galactose. Glucose-galactose malabsorption (GGM ...

But after a meal, when blood-glucose spikes, much more insulin is released. The body can now regulate the extra sugar properly, preventing abnormally high levels of glucose—known as hyperglycemia.

Extra glucose will refill the glycogen stores. If there is still more glucose left, your body may store it as fat. This provides another source of energy if you need it. Extra protein and fat may ...

In the patients assigned to liberal glucose control, insulin was initiated only when the blood-glucose level exceeded 215 mg per deciliter (>11.9 mmol per liter) on two consecutive measurements ...
