EtiologyUnder Normal Conditions Liver makes basal level of glucose Body is able to sense changes in basal BG level

and is adjusted When you eat:

Insulin increases Blood glucose decreases

EtiologyPre-diabetes/Diabetes Take in more CHOs than insulin is able to clear Extra calories stored as visceral fat Visceral fat releases chemicals

Insulin increases Gluconeogenesis increases

Kidney is unable to clear excess glucose 3 P’s Excess glucose stored as visceral fat FFA released

Risk Factors
