Message: <blockquote data-quote="Squire Fulwood" data-source="post: 1625999" data-attributes="member: 44622">One of the things we are told to believe is that visceral fat or some other problem reduces the amount of insulin released into the bloodstream and therefore we have a problem. I have never seen a discussion where visceral fat reduces the amount of glucose released into the bloodstream. What would be the effects of that I wonder.Dr. Roger Unger said that insulin is 400 times more concentrated when still in the pancreas but when its effect is limited for some reason then maybe glucose gets into the bloodstream in quantities it wasn't meant to and has to wait to be processed by diluted insulin as and when it arrives.I have a suspicion that the alpha cells might also malfunction and the balance of glucose and insulin is wrong such that you end up with too much insulin chasing too little sugar. This could give you hypos.But then I'm a drunk and might have a different idea tomorrow.</blockquote>
