Live preview: projected response of a representative model for the authored variables at the current time.

Representative whole-body physiology diagramActive organs become brighter as the timeline moves.
Digestion begins

Digestive processes start breaking carbohydrate into absorbable sugars.

Glucose enters circulation

Glucose appearance from the gut contributes to a rising post-meal range in the bloodstream.

The pancreas signals

Rising glucose usually prompts pancreatic beta cells to increase insulin secretion.

The response settles

As glucose appearance slows and uptake continues, the representative ranges move back toward their starting state.

Tissues coordinate uptake and storage

Insulin supports glucose uptake in tissues such as skeletal muscle and helps the liver shift toward storage and use.
