Normal Sugar & Insulin Cycle, Illustration

---

Illustration of the normal glucose and insulin cycle. Food enters the digestive tract via the mouth, esophagus and stomach. The stomach converts the food to glucose, which enters the bloodstream. The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin helps regulate glucose levels in the blood. Glucose is used by the body's cells as an energy source.
