Insulin is the carrier that lets glucose into the cell. When there is insulin deficiency, glucose will be abundant in blood and deficient in the cells. So the cells will depend on fats for energy. Ketones will be produced as a byproduct. High glucose in blood will cause a state of hyperosmolarity so the person will be thirsty. When he drink more water he will urinate more.
