1. Glucose passes into blood
2. Pancreas monitors and controls blood glucose concentration using insulin and glucagon
3. Pancreas produces insulin
4. Insulin allows glucose to move from blood into cells
5. Soluble glucose is converted to insoluble carbohydrate glycogen
6. Insulin controls storage of glycogen in liver and muscles
7. Excess glucose is converted to lipids
8. Glycogen stores in liver and muscles are depleted when needed
