Sugar Carbohydrates and Diabetes Type II Name: Institutional Affiliation: Sugar Carbohydrates and Diabetes Type II Glucose is composed of sugar carbohydrates in their monosaccharide form. Foodstuffs that have high levels of sugar carbohydrate impacts the level of blood sugar negatively. The rise in sugar level causes insulin resistance, which is a predisposing factor of Diabetes Type II (Hauner, 2012). When the level of sugar in carbohydrates is high; it raises the amount of glucose in the blood, leading to toxicity and metabolic dysfunction as a result of insulin failing to function appropriately. Insulin resistance is described as the resistance offered by the metabolic cells to the effects caused by insulin. As suggested by Hauner (2012), carbohydrates with elevated levels of sugars or glucose results in Diabetes Type 2 because the resistance impedes the pancreas from keeping up with the demand for adequate insulin that controls the level of blood sugar. Diabetes type II results from the skyrocketing levels of blood sugar, which is derived from the food that a per...
