LOL. Teachers these days have no clue what they're talking about sometimes when it comes to nutrition. ANY teacher that trys to explain anything health-related to you by using a diabetic as an example is so far off base they have no business even commenting on the issue. A diabetic has soo many physiological pathology factors going so terribly wrong simultanesously that they are not even comparable to the processes that take place in a normal healthy human body. Cells do need glucose to survive this is true, BUT 70-80% of the glucose that your body produces in the liver come directly from AMINO ACIDS. This is true no matter HOW MANY CARBS you eat. 1g or 1,000g of carbs a day... Your body (liver) will still produce 70-80% of its glucose directly from amino acids. When you eat any amount of protein (whey, dairy, animal, etc) your body breaks it down into amino acids. Some of these aminos are used in repair, celluar restoration, and function, while the rest get converted into glucose through gluconeogenesis. If you want in depth information on this subject do a goole search on Dr. Scott Connelly, He also has a book out called "Body RX: Dr. Scott Connelly's 6-pack Prescription. He has written many research studies, appeared on many television and radio interviews, and is currently formulating micro-whey fractions that are going through clinical testing to actually treat medical conditions. If you want to layout any BS argument a teacher/student claims about the neccessity of carbohydrates for function on any level in the human body, listen to this man for 10 minutes and you'll have all the ammunition you'll need for a 3 hour debate.
