Elderly individuals may have insufficient insulin to stimulate glucose uptake in muscle, leading to glucose intolerance.

“elderly have enough insulin to suppress glucose production glucose production is easier to suppress then it's a pressing lower level of insulin then stimulating glucose uptake in the muscle deliver is more sensitive than the muscle and so elderly have the ability to suppress a pati glucose production because they have enough of insulin to do that but when you start giving them food during the day they fail and they become glucose intolerance and diabetic they might have diabetes although their basal level are well just because of this this enough insulin to suppress glucose production and not enough to increase glucose uptake”
