that is called insulin.
2nd Answer:
Yes Insulin, produced in the pancreas, helps LOWER dangerously high sugar levels in the blood.
But Glucagon, also produced in the pancreas, helps RAISE dangerously low sugar levels in the blood. About the brain's only 'food' is glucose sugar, so glucagon is a very important hormone!

∙ 12y agoThe Pancreas controls sugar levels.The body converts carbohydrates to a kind of sugar called Glucose.This is the 'fuel' that runs our bodies & gives us energy.The pancreas secretes a hormone called Insulin which keeps sugar levels at a constant & safe level.When the pancreas stops working properly it cant produce enough Insulin.This causes the disease Diabetes.

What hormone helps lower the blood glucose level when it is high?
Insuline and Glucagon control blood glucose. Insuline: brings down high levels of glucose. Glucagon: brings glucose levels back to normal, (brings glucose levels up).
What foods lower glucose levels?
Using your diet to help control diabetes is a great idea! Some excellent foods include: oatmeal, spinach, broccoli and green beans. Those are just a few of many different types of food that can help control glucose levels.
Which hormone specifically targets cells that produce hormones that affect glucose metabolism?
Insulin is the hormone that specifically targets cells that produce hormones affecting glucose metabolism. It is produced by the pancreas and regulates the uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose by cells in the body. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into cells.
What is the use of checking blood glucose levels?
Testing Glucose in the blood is performed to confirm Diabetes Mellitus also it helps to control the disease level before it's going to last stage of a disease. Also, it helps to know during treatment and after treatment of metabolism of carbohydrates and elevated levels of glucose in the blood.
What hormones are used for fertility control?
all of them because it helps to control fetility
What type of carbohydrates helps maintains normal glucose levels?
Glucagon and Insulin
What are three ways in which the liver helps humans maintain homeostasis of glucose levels?
The liver helps humans maintain homeostasis of glucose levels in three ways. They include storing excess glucose as glycogen, releasing glycogen during fasting, and using precursors in gluconeogenesis.
What is the difference between insulin and blood sugar?
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to control the glucose (sugar) levels in your blood. It has two functions: It sends a message to 1) your cells to increase the uptake of glucose and 2) your liver to convert and store excess glucose. This is done to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Blood sugar is the glucose present in the blood to supply the cells with the necessary fuel and energy. Even though glucose is essential for the body it is very important that the level of glucose is maintained at constant levels. High levels of sugar is very damaging to your health especially the kidneys. Insulin helps to maintain these stable levels.
What does pancreas?
This is an accessory organ attached to the digestive tract and helps to regulate glucose levels.
What is the role of pancreas and liver n controlling the blood glucose level?
pamcreas secrets hormone insuline which plays a major role in controling blood sugar level, mechanism-the concept is glucose metabolism happens inside cell where as absorption occurs in intestine, insuline controls both for maintaining of sugar level.insulin acts a n important role in the process in which glucose enter inside cell as a result blood glucose level decreases in other hand maontain sugarlevel as per body requirement by retirding cellabsofption and nhancing intestinal absorption
Which gland helps control sugar levels in the bloodstream?
hypothalamus
Does digestive system help glucose enter all body cells?
The digestive system helps to maintain glucose levels in the blood in various ways. This is done mainly through the pancreas which will release glucagon that will help insulin to maintain the normal glucose levels.
