Transferring Glucose into Cells
Bodies make insulin in order to allow glucose to the leave ones blood stream and enter cells. First the insulin must be detected by the insulin receptor cells and then the insulin acts as a key to open the door to allow glucose into the cell. Once the glucose enters the cell, the doors close and don't allow any more glucose into the cells until more insulin is produced and then is again detected by the insulin receptors. When someones body doesn't produce insulin or doesn't recognize it then they have type 1 or type 2 Diabetes. The glucose would then build up in the blood stream from not being able to enter the cell and cause many health problems.
