[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2097393, member: 196898"] Not at all. The first stage insulin response is triggered by enzymes in the saliva reaching the stomach. If the smell of food makes one drool in anticipation, then this can be sufficient to trigger insulin. The problem arises when there is actually no food to follow so the second stage insulin response does not get triggered. Stage 1 is fast acting and short duration and it has the function of attacking the simple carbs ie sugars that cause the sugar spike. Stage 2 follows on and is designed to keep going until bgl sugars start dropping off, and this stage is the one that is supposed to switch off the flow of insulin before the hypo stage, and is the main regulatory control mechanism. If stage 2 is not triggered then insulin remains at higher levels for longer in the presence of Insulin Resistance, One characteristic of T2 is that stage 1 response is often weak or missing so we spike readily to any sugar input. We also apparently generate stage 1 response to artificial sweetners. Even though these are empty calories, we still can put on weight since bgl glucose hanging around can still be stored as fat by these false insulin triggers. [/QUOTE]
