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.
