AntiM, just a minor correction. Insulin does not suck-up or absorb glucose. One of its jobs is to "soften" the cells of the body so that THEY can absorb the glucose. Once the carb/sugar hits the blood stream it is transformed into glucose. The cells will communicate to the pancreas, via the brain, that they cannot consume the glucose. The pancreas then says "OK, I will send in some insulin to help you out." So then, it will send a little bit of the stuff only as the cells need it. If the cells are too tough, more insulin is sent to "push" the glucose. With a type II diabetic, the cells are so tough that the insulin cannot do a thorough enough job, therefore unused glucose is spilled into the urine.
