So my understanding is that capillaries leak out their blood plasma containing sugar and other nutrients insulin (when sugar present)near body cells, and this is what comprises interstitial fluid.
But what if no insulin is present (Type 1 diabetes) or insulin creates no response (Type 2 diabetes)?
Does the interstitial fluid just remain sugary since the glucose can't enter the cells?
My understanding is that capillaries only use diffusion as transport, so they can't reabsorb glucose from the interstitial fluid, right?
When someone has a "high blood sugar," does this also mean that interstitial fluid sugar concentration is also high...?
Thanks SO much! :)
I have been researching this forever but can't find a clear answer! #=_=
