- 15 Shown here is a schematic representation of how different substances are distributed in the body. Glucose, extracted from our food, is sent to different parts of our body by the blood. This glucose is absorbed by the cells with the help of a substance called insulin. If insulin is absent or does not work properly, the glucose stays in the blood and does not get absorbed by the cells. This causes a disease called diabetes. Digestive system Nutrients are transported by the circulatory system Nutrients are transported by the circulatory system Body parts Excretory system Wastes are transported by the circulatory system To diagnose diabetes, the amount of glucose present in the blood is measured in the morning around 12 hours after the last intake of food. This is because A. drawing blood before food intake is easier because it flOws slowly other nutrients will be absent, allowing accurate measurement of glucose there is more blood in the morning because the body is inactive during…arrow_forward3.
