Cells Can Be Locked Into A Diabetic State With Minimal Glucose Exposure

University of Warwick Medical School researchers said they were aware there seems to be a point of no return in the onset of diabetes and scientists have speculated exposure to high glucose levels quickly creates a metabolic memory in which diabetes persists long after the glucose levels are corrected.

So, there you have it. Even if your blood sugar goes right back down after that big ol’ chocolate marshmallow dounut, yeah I’m talking to you, you can still be doing long term damage.

Are you telling me to give up the dounut fetish? Uh huh, and yup! No, really, that stinks, ’cause I LOVE a good breakfast sweet. But I will be good if you can. Especially if it means that my cells will behave with no long term complications. You don’t want your cells to be “locked” into a diabetic state after only limited high glucose exposure, do ya?

Ugh, it is SO hard to be good all the time, but power in numbers right?
