Last post by skb - May 18, 2024, 11:12:33 PMQuoteThe sweet taste receptor, expressed in taste bud cells, conveys sweetness from the mouth when it is activated. Earlier this month, a study in PLOS One, led by another Monell researcher, delved into how the sweet-taste receptor might be the first stop in a metabolic surveillance system for sugar. The receptor is also expressed in certain intestinal cells, where it may facilitate glucose absorption and assimilation, as part of this system.
The team found that stimulation and inhibition of TAS1R2-TAS1R3 demonstrates that it helps regulate glucose metabolism in humans and may have implications for managing such metabolic disorders as diabetes. Glucose is the primary type of sugar found in human blood, making it a key source of energy for cells.

I have a feeling adding more of the protein/meal drinks is going to up my bg some for a while.
The high was only 51° with a cold wind blowing all afternoon into the evening. Today's forecast is 63°/39° mostly sunny with wind picking up again in the afternoon for a few hours.

Last post by walkerwally1 - May 18, 2024, 10:44:54 AMStill sore from my standing "exercises" and it may take me more than one day to get over it but I will see how it goes today. I would really like to be able to walk unaided and for longer distances and if doing some exercises helps that would be great.

Last post by walkerwally1 - May 18, 2024, 10:40:44 AM94 this morning. Our high yesterday was 98° again but it is supposed to be cooling down a bit over the next few days. Still in the low 90s and high 80s so normal for here.

After dentist appointment walked around the Mall a little but had no energy to actually shop. Stopped at the grocery store on the way home for more soft foods as I think this "getting use to it" time is going to be longer than I had anticipated.

It is still very hard to eat so drinking meal replacement/protein drinks. About the only "solid" food I can manage is yogurt and applesauce. Today I'm going to try some soups,.
