Graphite is a mineral that forms when carbon is subjected to heat and pressure in Earth's crust and in the upper mantle. Pressures in the range of 75,000 pounds per square inch and temperatures in the range of 750 degrees Celsius are needed to produce graphite. These correspond to the granulite metamorphic facies.
If you weigh 140 pounds and have type 1 diabetes, 1 gram of glucose will raise your blood sugar about 5 mg/dl no matter what your blood sugar may be, because you cannot produce any insulin to offset the glucose. If you weigh twice that, or 280 pounds, 1 gram will raise your blood sugar only half as much. A 70-pound diabetic child, on the other hand, will experience double the blood sugar increase, or 10 mg/dl per gram of glucose consumed. Thus, the effect of ingested glucose on blood sugar is inversely related to your weight.
Your liver can significantly raise your blood sugar level by producing excess glucose even though there is already enough sugar in your bloodstream. Sorghum slows down the liver-induced gluconeogenesis âa process that can be especially problematic for diabetics. 19 The result is less new glucose entering the blood. 19 This beneficial mechanism of controlling sugar production in the liver is similar to the anti-diabetes drug metformin. 30.
