The term secondary market is also used to refer to the market for any used goods or assets, or an alternative use for an existing product or asset where the customer base is the second market (for example, corn has been traditionally used primarily for food production and feedstock, but a second or third market has developed for use in ethanol production).
What you eat with your carbohydrates matters, too. Protein and fat slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, which helps prevent [insulin] spikes and drops, says Jamieson-Petonic.
And protein does give you glucose, but it takes a long time, relatively speaking, for your body to get it. 1  When you eat carbohydrates, your pancreas secretes insulin, the hormone that enables you to digest starches and sugars. This release of insulin is sometimes called an insulin spike. Eating simple carbohydrates such as sucrose provokes higher insulin secretion than eating complex carbohydrates such as starch.
