Insulin Production and Type 1 Diabetes - 4 minute audio and video - very informative

This animation illustrates how insulin is normally produced in the body and how its production is destroyed in type 1 diabetes.In the shot starting 1:59, we've shown one insulin molecule binding only once to one of the two possible bindings sites on the insulin receptor dimer. This video shows the regulation of the insulin receptor itself, but the main aim of the animation was to show how insulin regulates glucose uptake, which is why they have  focused on that alone.
