- steven has been recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. As a result, steven is now receiving daily injections of insulin to control his condition. steven knows that insulin is linked to sugar but does not understand its full role in his body. He is also interested in how this all relates to his metabolic rate and whether his condition has an impact on his ability to generate energy. Using your knowledge of insulin and the absorptive state, explain the role of insulin during the absorptive state and how this relates to energy production.arrow_forwardAccording to glycogen metabolism, which of the following statementsis/are not true?
