Where does your energy actually come from — and what does diabetes change about it? In about 6 minutes, we follow the whole journey, and suddenly the rest of diabetes management starts to make sense.

• Insulin as the "key" that unlocks your cells (and what insulin resistance really means)
• How your body stores extra energy as glycogen and fat

• Why your brain runs on glucose — and why a low leaves you shaky and foggy
• Where Type 1 and Type 2 fit into the story
