1 After you eat, carbohydrates break down into sugar and enter the bloodstream in the form of glucose, a sugar that serves as a primary source of energy. 2  Normally, the pancreas responds by producing insulin, which allows sugar to enter the tissues.
Glucose (âblood sugarâ) provides the cells in the body with the energy. they need to live and function. Cells can only absorb glucose from the. blood in the presence of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced in an. organ called the pancreas. Sometimes the pancreas becomes unable. to produce enough insulin, or the cells in the body fail to respond to. insulin properly, meaning that: i) the cells in the body cannot absorb. enough glucose and. ii) too much glucose remains in the blood.
