This is new to me. It is my understanding that insulin is required to get glucose into
all cells.
Insulin resistance is defined as :
The diminished ability of cells to respond to the action of insulin in transporting glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream into muscle and other tissues. Can you give me a reference on the other way glucose is transported into cells?
