- Blood Sugar Levels
- When you eat, your sugar level increases due to having more sugar in your blood and therefore giving you more energy.
- When you exercise, your sugar level decreases due to having less sugar in your blood and therefore having less energy.
- If you have high blood sugar levels then you have lots of Glucose in your blood.
- To make your sugar level normal again, the Glucose must be converted into Glycogen (bigger molecules of Glucose) by producing Insulin.
- Insulin is a HORMONE.
- Glucose is SOLUBLE which means it can dissolve in water and can be easily released into the blood.
- To make your sugar level normal again, the Glucose must be converted into Glycogen (bigger molecules of Glucose) by producing Insulin.
- If you have low blood sugar levels then you have lots of Glycogen in your blood.
- To make your sugar level normal again, the Glycogen must be converted into Glucose (smaller Glycogen molecules) by producing Glucagon.
- Glucagon is a HORMONE.
- Glycogen is INSOLUBLE which means it cannot be dissolved in water and can easily be stored in the liver cells.
- To make your sugar level normal again, the Glycogen must be converted into Glucose (smaller Glycogen molecules) by producing Glucagon.
