Insulin secreted by Beta cells of pancreas, how does insulin enters bloodstream? (what is the pathway)

It has something to do with cascade effect. Insulin is a protein so it will bind to the cell membrane and cause a cascade CAMP effect. (only steroids go through cell membrane) Now, does this have to do any thing iwht RER and SER and Golgi app?
 
the pancreas is the only organ that is both an endo and exocrine system. so it secreates it into the blood.

now the signal is a different story. once in the bloodstream the target cells have surface proteins that recognize and bind insulin (protein hormone) and from there the cascade effect occurs
