What Are the Consequences of Disrupted Glucose Metabolism?
Disruption of glucose metabolism can lead to several adverse health effects. Acute effects may include symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness, confusion, and even loss of consciousness due to inadequate energy supply to the brain. Chronic exposure to toxicants that affect glucose metabolism can contribute to the development of metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity, as well as increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
