Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood.
Insulin is a hormone. Hormones are chemical substances that regulate the cells of the body and are produced by special glands. The hormone insulin is a main regulator of the glucose (sugar) levels in the blood. Insulin is produced in the pancreas.hen we eat, glucose levels rise, and insulin is released into the bloodstream.
