What Are the Effects of Toxins on Blood Sugar Levels?
Toxins can alter blood sugar levels in several ways:
Insulin Resistance: Some chemicals can cause or exacerbate insulin resistance, a condition where cells in muscles, fat, and the liver don't respond well to insulin and can't use glucose from the blood for energy. Pancreatic Damage: Exposure to toxic substances can damage the pancreas, which produces insulin, disrupting glucose regulation. Adrenal Stress: Toxins may increase stress hormones like cortisol, which can raise blood sugar levels by signaling the liver to release more glucose.
