blood sugar regulation

Blood sugar regulation involves maintaining the right level of glucose in your bloodstream for energy and overall health. When you eat, your body breaks down food into glucose, which enters the blood. The pancreas then releases insulin, a hormone that helps cells absorb glucose for energy or storage. If blood sugar drops too low, the pancreas releases another hormone called glucagon, which signals the liver to release stored glucose. This balance between insulin and glucagon keeps blood sugar levels steady, ensuring your body has a reliable energy source without becoming too high or too low.
