What metabolism is mainly affected by insulin?

First, let’s define the concept of “insulin”. Insulin is a hormone that is produced in the body and participates in many metabolic processes (but mainly in carbohydrate metabolism), so its functions are very important. The most important function that this hormone performs is to monitor the level of carbohydrates in the blood (glucose). If this function is impaired, then the person begins to suffer from a serious disease called diabetes mellitus.
