Tell them...: You need Insulin to get sugar into cells for them to use for energy creation without it, cells starve, blood sugar rises in blood and makes you sick in many ways. Just like if you don't have iron, can't make blood cells, get anemia and side effectsaccrue from anemia, low blood cell count.
