Glucose and Insulin Cycle
Your pancreas constantly monitors and controls your blood sugar levels using two hormones. The best known of these is insulin. When your blood sugar levels rise after a meal your pancreas releases insulin. Insulin allows glucose to be taken into the cells of your body where it is used in respiration. It also allows glucose to be converted to glycogen which is stored in the liver and muscles.
