Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by the cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans and maintains normal blood glucose levels by facilitating cellular glucose uptake, regulating carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism and promoting cell division and growth through its mitogenic effects.

Detailed explanation-2: -We showed that increased hemoglobin levels are associated with significant insulin resistance, as assessed by HOMA-IR, and there is a strong correlation between hemoglobin and HOMA-IR in both men and women.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
