Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon is a hormone that your pancreas makes to help regulate your blood glucose (sugar) levels. Glucagon increases your blood sugar level and prevents it from dropping too low, whereas insulin, another hormone, decreases blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucagon works with your liver to turn a type of stored sugar called glycogen into glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucagon works to counterbalance the actions of insulin. About 4–6 hours after you eat, the glucose levels in your blood decrease. This triggers your pancreas to produce glucagon. This hormone signals your liver and muscle cells to convert the stored glycogen back into glucose.
