DESCRIPTION: Insulin is a hormone that is released from your pancreas in response to the amount of glucose that is circulating in your blood. The purpose of insulin is to help glucose leave your bloodstream and enter your cells. Insulin acts as a key to open the cell membranes of the cells so glucose can enter.

If someone has diabetes their cells are not utilizing insulin correctly.  Insulin is not being effective in opening the cell membrane so glucose can leave the bloodstream and enter the cells. This is why the blood tests start showing higher levels of glucose in the blood.

Whenever you eat food your body will require a certain amount of insulin to make sure it is deposited into your cells as fuel.  Below are the breakdowns:

1. Carbohydrates, simple or complex, require 100% insulin to be deposited into cells.
2. Proteins require about 50% insulin to be deposited into cells.
3. Fats do not require insulin to be deposited into cells.
