[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2134011, member: 374531"] Fascinating stuff, Mel. I've sometimes wondered about this, but not much as there's usually something more interesting on the telly (new series of Peaky Blandaahs!). Haven't done biology since secondary school, but what I've found, and this may be wrong, from messing around with T1 for a while is that injected insulin/glucagon get into the bloodstream for distribution round the body. And glucose from eating/liver get into stream and seeps out into interstitial fluid because of pressure differences between arteries etc. and the fluid. What's puzzling me is why insulin/glucagon get into stream from a sub-q injection but glucose doesn't? Is it just some sort of chemical/biological thing that glucose can leave the bloodstream but not get back in? [/QUOTE]
