Additionally, the USDA says the thighs and wings of poultry should be cooked until the juices run clear.. Some people say the government, with all its lawyers and bureaucrats, errs on the side of caution at the expense of flavor, and that some meats taste much better cooked 5Â° to 10Â° lower.
If high levels (7.5 mg/min or higher) are required, the patient is insulin-sensitive. Very low levels (4.0 mg/min or lower) indicate that the body is resistant to insulin action. Levels between 4.0 and 7.5 mg/min are not definitive, and suggest impaired glucose tolerance, an early sign of insulin resistance.
Fig. 1. Glucose homeostasis. A rise in blood glucose triggers insulin secretion from Î²-cells (blue) within the pancreatic islets. Insulin lowers blood glucose by acting on target tissues, suppressing glucose output from the liver and stimulating glucose uptake into muscle and fat.
