Fruits and vegetables contain soluble and insoluble fiber in varying proportions. When you eat soluble fiber, it absorbs water to form a gel-like mass, which helps you feel full and provides other health benefits. It prevents a surge in blood sugar after you eat by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.
If the blood glucose level falls to dangerous levels (as in very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods), the Alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon, a hormone whose effects on liver cells act to increase blood glucose levels.
After that, there is a response of the body by secretion of insulin, whose job is to lower the glucose levels. But in addition, what insulin signals, also, is it signals the cells to uptake the sugar thatâs floating around in our blood.
