I’m too nice for my own good. Today I felt sad because the main trio of monosaccharides (glucose, galactose and fructose) always ditch fructose, both glucose and galactose are aldoses while fructose is a ketose and when they enter the cell, both use transport proteins while she entres through diffusion. She must feel so sad and left out

My favorite brand of diabetic tumblr is when someone is posting low blood sugar memes while they’re clearly fighting for their life

2/21/24 PlyoJam, Strength and stretch

Today was 45 minutes of cardio, a shorter strength session (15 mins), then 30 or so stretching.

Blood sugar does not come down during exercise, it seems, but after, which Dr. Google says is normal... 🤷‍♀️ Mine seems to go up during sleep, which makes sense, I guess, cos I eat my main meal in the evening... maybe I should go for a walk after dinner or something to reduce that impact?

As the world searches for ways to reduce the use of plastics such as single-use plastic bags, a novel study by Penn State researchers demonstrates a process to make paper bags stronger -- especially when they get wet -- to make them a more viable alternative.

The study suggests a process for creating paper bags durable enough to be used multiple times and then broken down chemically by an alkaline treatment to be used as a source for biofuel production, according to researcher Daniel Ciolkosz, associate research professor of agricultural and biological engineering.

"When the primary use of these paper products ends, using them for secondary purposes makes them more sustainable," he said. "Recycling and reducing paper waste also helps in reducing total solid waste destined for landfills. This is a concept we think society should consider."

Lead researcher Jaya Tripathi, who will graduate from Penn State this spring with a doctoral degree in biorenewable systems and has accepted a position at the Joint BioEnergy Institute in California, devised an innovative process in which cellulose in paper is torrefied, or roasted in an oxygen-deprived environment, to greatly increase its tensile strength when wet.

Carbohydrates act as storehouses of chemical energy (glucose, starch, glycogen) and are components of supportive structures in plants (cellulose), crustacean shells (chitin) and connective tissues in animals (polysaccharides).

2/21/24 CGM

So, celebrating a friend's birthday tonight I had a MOST DELICIOUS cookies and cream cupcake. Checking my blood sugar, it doesn't seem to be that bad. I expected a huge spike. Got a small spike, but now it's coming back down. I'm pretty happy with this response.

Also, the gourmet cupcakes at Sam's Club are to die for (everyone agreed) and tons cheaper than equivalent at a bakery shop.

#journal #cgm #glucose #treat #cupcake #i hadn't planned on eating one #but I'm actually glad I did #it was wonderful #guess we'll see if i still feel that way in the morning when I've gained 3 pounds

It’s not just what you eat. The ORDER in which you eat your food also influences blood sugar and digestion.

Ultrathin fuel cell uses the body's own sugar to generate electricity

Glucose is the sugar we absorb from the foods we eat. It is the fuel that powers every cell in our bodies. Could glucose also power tomorrow's medical implants?

Engineers at MIT and the Technical University of Munich think so. They have designed a new kind of glucose fuel cell that converts glucose directly into electricity. The device is smaller than other proposed glucose fuel cells, measuring just 400 nanometers thick, or about 1/100 the diameter of a human hair. The sugary power source generates about 43 microwatts per square centimeter of electricity, achieving the highest power density of any glucose fuel cell to date under ambient conditions.

The new device is also resilient, able to withstand temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius. If incorporated into a medical implant, the fuel cell could remain stable through the high-temperature sterilization process required for all implantable devices.

The heart of the new device is made from ceramic, a material that retains its electrochemical properties even at high temperatures and miniature scales. The researchers envision the new design could be made into ultrathin films or coatings and wrapped around implants to passively power electronics, using the body's abundant glucose supply.
