Question 2

Accepted Answer

: Digestion and conversion of protein/carbohydrates and fats into glucose can happen 24/7 regardless of your meal timing. Blood glucose rises when there is not enough insulin, the transfer protein, pulling the glucose into tissues. If it is not pulled into tissues, it lingers in the blood &amp; the glucose levels rise. It car rise into the thousands with inadequate insulin available.
