No two beta cells are exactly alike. They have the same structure but they vary in size and shape. They can be different ages, with unique surfaces. They may be influenced by their neighbors.

Early insulin is shaped in the beta cell's Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER). Located just outside the beta cell nucleus, the ER is a series of flattened folds that resemble ribbon candy.

Insulin. Your body needs the hormone insulin to transport glucose (our fuel) into our cells for energy. The beta cell "knows" just how much insulin to make; it actually checks our glucose levels every millisecond.

beta cells are work horses, on alert 24/7, ready to work as soon as they sense glucose levels rising in the bloodstream.

Timed results. A molecule of insulin has between 4 and 6 minutes to unlock the receptors on our cells so that they can take in the glucose fuel we need to live. If they miss their targets, they expire.
