It regulates the blood glucose so you do not get too much "sugar" in your blood with food intake. It is naturally produced by the pancreas and is released in response to rising blood sugar levels. In diabetics, there is no (or not enough) production of insulin by the body or other problems with the endocrine system affecting the efficacy of the insulin and that is why diabetics take medication, including insulin, to treat their disease and regulate the blood sugar.
