Insulin is not stored, the body makes it on demand. Also it is not part of the digestive system, rather it is a hormone regulating the amount of sugar in the blood (it does however kick in when you have eaten something). Insulin is made by the islets of Langerhans, which are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (i.e., hormone-producing) cells.

How does the digestive system and endocrine system work together to maintain a stable blood sugar level?
**** When we digest carbohydrates, they are transformed into sugars. The pancreas, part of the endocrine system, produces the hormone insulin to regulate how fast the sugars are broken down; therefore, insulin regulates the amount of sugar in the blood in a certain amount of time (the blood glucose level).
