have a healthy metabolism, when
you eat a healthy meal, your
blood sugar levels rise
moderately—not too much, and
not too fast. When blood sugar
increases, the pancreas dispatches
just enough insulin to
communicate to the cells exactly
how much blood sugar needs to
be stored. Insulin’s message is,
“Store these nutrients.” The cells,
which are sensitive to the insulin
message, hear the request and
respond appropriately by pulling
blood sugar out of the
bloodstream and storing it,
thereby returning blood glucose
levels to normal.* Insulin
sensitivity is indicative of a nice,
normal, healthy relationship
between the pancreas and most
tissues in the body.
