Why To Have Insulin
Insulin is a powerful hormone produced by the beta cells in the pancreas. Its primary function is to assist the movement of glucose in the bloodstream into the cells of the body to provide energy. Often overlooked is the fact that insulin also directs fat cells to convert glucose and fatty acids in the blood into fat for storage. This is the starting point of the rollercoaster ride of balancing blood sugars and excess body fat. By taking a look at the two types of diabetes it is easy to see how this hormone functions.
