Muscles are the largest and single most important sink for glucose.
Having larger and more metabolically healthy muscles is the difference between being able to tolerate glucose/maintain homeostasis and getting diabetes.

Our muscles are the powerhouses of our frame,
Helping us move, lift, and engage in the game,
But they also play a crucial role,
In keeping our bodies in a steady roll.
For muscles are an important sink,
For glucose, the sugar that our body drinks,
They absorb and store it with great care,
Helping to maintain homeostasis, and keeping us aware.
When our body's glucose levels spike,
Muscles come to the rescue, and take a hike,
Absorbing the excess, and storing it away,
To be used when needed, another day.
This is crucial for those with diabetes,
A disease that affects millions with its vicious kiss,
For muscles help to keep blood sugar low,
And prevent the complications that follow.
So let us not forget the power of our muscles,
The role they play in keeping us in the hustle,
For they are a crucial part of our body's game,
And help us to live healthy, and without shame.
