How does insulin work to lower glucose levels after a meal?
During digestion, foods that contain carbohydrates are converted into glucose. Most of this glucose is sent into your bloodstream, causing a rise in blood glucose levels, which signals your pancreas to produce insulin. The insulin signals cells throughout your body to take in glucose from your bloodstream.Last updated on 09 Dec 2024
