Scientists tested whether giving insulin to men who are obese and have mild diabetes changes how their fat tissue processes sugar. They found that at normal insulin levels, it doesn't really matter - the fat tissue's sugar burning stays the same.

The study directly tested whether insulin affects fat tissue's ability to process glucose in men who are obese and have mild diabetes. It found that insulin had no significant effect on glucose burning in fat tissue at normal insulin levels (up to 35 nmol/L) for these men - exactly matching what the claim states.
