Insulin helps glucose enter cells by binding to receptors on cell membranes, which triggers the movement of glucose transporters to the cell surface and allows glucose to enter the cell. This process helps to lower blood glucose levels after a meal. Insulin is not released during fasting periods and does not stimulate the breakdown of glycogen.
