Insulin reduces the amount of sugar in your bloodstream to an  acceptable level, and glucagon raises the amount of sugar in your  bloodstream to an acceptable level.   â¦   Glycogen is a stored type of the sugar, Glucose, that can readily  be added to the bloodstream by glucagon.
How is glucagon controlled? Glucagon works along with the hormone insulin to control blood sugar levels and keep them within set levels. Glucagon is released to stop blood sugar levels dropping too low, while insulin is released to stop blood sugar levels rising too high. Release of glucagon is stimulated by low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia), protein-rich meals and adrenaline (another important hormone for combating low glucose). Release of glucagon is prevented by raised blood glucose and carbohydrate in meals, detected by cells in the pancreas.
