Abstract:
Metabolic disorders for sugars, fats and amino-acids have a significant influence on the physical performance of type 1 and 2 diabetics. Recent studies have given a great deal of attention to the influence of the entry of fatty acids into muscles and steatosis in skeletal muscles during the onset and development of insulin resistance. Another important mechanism that influences the maintenance of muscle mass and its performance is the transport of magnesium and its availability in muscle tissue. There is a lack of magnesium in the populations of the industrially developed world and its depletion leads to disorders of muscular function, especially in diabetics.

Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in the...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
