[QUOTE="Member496333, post: 2150721"] I also read somewhere that, given an equal level of sensitivity, exogenous injections result in higher blood insulin concentrations per x amount of cleared glucose when compared to those who produce insulin in the pancreas. I forget the exact mechanism but I believe it is something to do with the pancreas normally delivering the bulk of insulin directly to the liver rather than it circulating the whole body before it gets there. I'm sure it's way more complex than that, though. Insulin doesn't just act alone in the liver, for one thing. I think someone here recently posted a link to a video or online literature that explains it far better than I'm able to. [/QUOTE]
