bigger muscles, more insulin sensitivity

I did a paper on type II diabetes for school. Resistance training (and in turn muscle gain) dramatically improves insulin sensitivity.

So, the more my muscles hypertrophy, can I expect my insulin sensitivity to grow as well? From what I understand, tissues that are more sensitive to insulin are that way beacuse they demand more energy (like glucose).

For someone like me, who gets fat easily from a high carbohydrate intake, will big muscles help me since they'll utilize these carbohydrates better now.

Thanks
