Regulation of glucose in the body is done autonomically and constantly throughout each minute of the day. Average BG levels should be between 60 and 140 mg/dL in order to supply cells of the body with its required energy.
Brain cells don’t require insulin to drive glucose into neurons; however, there must still be normal amounts available. Too little glucose, called hypoglycemia, starves cells, and too much glucose (hyperglycemia) creates a sticky, paralyzing effect on cells.
What occurs when blood glucose levels fall?
When blood sugar drops too low, the level of insulin decreases and other cells in the pancreas release glucagon, which causes the liver to turn stored glycogen back into glucose and release it into the blood.
Thus, little glucose, called hypoglycemia, starves cells, and too much glucose (hyperglycemia) creates a sticky, paralyzing effect on cells.
