The food and drink is mixed with various chemicals - breaking down the complex molecules to smaller one that can be absorbed by the intestine
The intestine absorbs these smaller particles from the mixture. Since we are talking diabetes, we will focus on glucose.

Glucose is absorbed through the intestine into the blood.
Once in the blood, the PANCREAS senses the glucose and releases a hormone called INSULIN.
Insulin is like a key, it goes to all the cell in the body and opens the door for glucose to enter.
