If insulin receptors stopped working, the cells would not be able to take in glucose from the bloodstream effectively.

This could lead to high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) and potentially result in symptoms associated with diabetes.

To convert units of insulin to milliliters, you need to know the concentration of your insulin (typically 100 units per 1 ml).
