Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon and insulin are both important hormones that play essential roles in regulating your blood glucose (sugar). Both hormones come from your pancreas-alpha cells in your pancreas make and release glucagon, and beta cells in your pancreas make and release insulin.
Detailed explanation-2: -While glucagon keeps blood glucose from dropping too low, insulin is produced to keep blood glucose from rising too high. The two hormones counterbalance each other to stabilize blood glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin has an effect on a number of cells, including muscle, red blood, and fat. In response to insulin, these cells absorb glucose out of the blood, having the net effect of lowering the high blood glucose levels into the normal range.
