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.
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. Glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreatic islets in much the same manner as insulin...except in the opposite direction. If blood glucose is high, then no glucagon is secreted. When blood glucose goes LOW, however, (such as between meals, and during exercise) more and more glucagon is secreted. Like insulin, glucagon has an effect on many cells of the body, but most notably the liver. The Role of Glucagon in Blood Glucose Control
