Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas which controls glucose level in the bloodstream. It isn't a poisonous substance, by the contrary, the lack of insulin is the most undesirable condition. It leads to Diabetes, which is mostly an hereditary disease, but any people may develop diabetes when excessive sugar is eaten. Lack of exercise joined to other factors like to drink excess of alcohol or smoking also predispose to diabetes.
