Insulin is responsible for us to make use of glucose for energy. When the body breaks down the sugars and starches into glucose, they become the sources of energy for our cells. The insulin takes the sugar from the blood into the cells. When our body does not produce insulin, then the sugars go into our blood instead of in our cells which is why diabetes takes place.
