OK, so hypokalemia inhibits insulin release by hyperpolarizing the beta cells.

Now, we use insulin with glucose to treat hyperkalemia. Insulin drives K+ into cells. How? What is the molecular mechanism of it?

I am sure this is something very simple and obvious, but I am missing it. Help, anyone!

Many thanks in advance
