Skeletal muscle for sure because diabetics are told to exercise more often as dont need insulin to store glucose. Organs???

And its not skeletal muscle that is independent of insuling, rather EXERCISING muscle, therefore, its recommended in diabetics to exercise.

What I know is Muscle and adipose tissue depend on insulin
Brain and RBC take up glucose independent of insuline levels GLUT-1.
