After eating, food is first broken down by the digestive system. For a healthy person, the nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream in the form of sugars or glucose. These sugars as well as fat and other basic substances are then spread throughout the body. The increase in glucose in the blood sends a signal to the pancreas to increase the amount of insulin it produces. Insulin then attaches to the blood cells and removes the glucose so that the body can use the glucose for energy.
