Actually, borderline diabetes is a somewhat misleading term. The term pre-diabetes, which is more widely used today, better describes what is happening. Pre-diabetes means that your blood glucose is higher than normal but not yet high enough to be considered diabetes.
Fat digestion also begins in the mouth with the secretion of the enzyme lingual lipase by glands under your tongue. Although this enzyme doesn't do much with the food while it's in your mouth, it does move on down with the food to your stomach, where it can start to break down about 10-30% of the food's fat content.
Salivary glands located under the tongue, and in the back of the mouth, produce saliva in the mouth. Enzymes in the saliva start the chemical digestion of food. Amylase starts the breakdown of carbohydrates, while salivary lipase begins the breakdown of fats.Once the food arrives at the stomach, gastric glands secrete pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid. Pepsinogen helps with the digestion of protein.nzymes in the saliva start the chemical digestion of food. Amylase starts the breakdown of carbohydrates, while salivary lipase begins the breakdown of fats.
