Diabetes is a complex set of metabolic diseases with thecommon symptom of an inability to transport glucose intotarget cells (muscle cells and adipocytes). The body compensates in part by degrading muscle protein to generate energy.Explain how this process works.

If our body lack of insulin, is it mean the glucose in our blood is low concentration now. So is it will effect pathways in mucles cell like glycolysis, fatty acids synthesis, glycogen synthesis, gluconeogenesis (increase or decrease)? I know the liver can regconize that low or high concentration of blood glucose so insulin or glucagon can act as the signal for liver can know, but is the muscle cell can do it to? If not, how they know to adjust their pathways. And if our body lack of insulin, is the liver cells response same as glucagon signaling.
