The body regulates glucose levels through a complex system involving hormones such as insulin and glucagon. When blood sugar levels rise after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin, which helps to lower blood sugar by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy or storage. On the other hand, when blood sugar levels drop, the pancreas releases glucagon, which signals the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream to maintain a stable level. This delicate balance between insulin and glucagon helps to ensure that blood sugar levels remain within a healthy range to support proper bodily functions.
