Detailed explanation-1: -Within this network, the pancreas represents a key player by secreting the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin and its opponent glucagon.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose from the blood, while glucagon triggers a release of glucose from the liver. People with type 1 diabetes need to take supplemental insulin to prevent their blood sugar levels from becoming too high. In some cases, a doctor will recommend insulin for people with type 2 diabetes.
Detailed explanation-3: -After you eat-when insulin levels are high-excess glucose is stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. Between meals-when insulin levels are low-the liver releases glycogen into the bloodstream in the form of glucose. This keeps blood sugar levels within a narrow range.
