1️. Released by the pancreas
- After you eat, blood sugar (glucose) rises.
- Beta cells in the pancreas release insulin.
2️. Helps sugar enter cells
- Insulin acts like a key, allowing glucose to enter muscle, fat, and liver cells.
- Inside cells, glucose is used for energy.
3️. Stores extra sugar
- In the liver and muscles, insulin helps store glucose as glycogen for later use.
- In fat cells, insulin promotes fat storage.
4️. Lowers blood sugar
- By moving glucose from the blood into cells, insulin reduces high blood sugar after meals.
5️. Inhibits sugar production
- Insulin tells the liver to stop making new glucose when blood sugar is sufficient.
- Modern insulin is like the “Agni booster”: it helps glucose enter cells and get used for energy
- When insulin is low/resistant, it is like “Agni mandya” (weak digestion/metabolism) at the cellular level → sugar accumulates in blood.
