How does insulin work in the body?
How does insulin take glucose from the bloodstream and transfer it to cells for conversion into energy/ATP in insulin-sensitive and metabolically healthy people?
Is my understanding of glucose disposal correct? Glucose disposal is tied directly to blood glucose and insulin. Basically, once glucose is consumed, it gets digested quickly and enters the bloodstream. In insulin-sensitive and metabolically healthy people, the hormone insulin is released. Insulin (through a process I'm unaware of and want to know) takes the glucose from the bloodstream and transfers it to cells, where mitochondria convert it to energy/ATP.
