"Blood sugar" usually refers specifically to glucose/dextrose (two different names for the same compound). There are often other sugars present in the blood as well, such as fructose.
The hormone responsible for lowering blood sugar levels is insulin.
The pancreas is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels. It produces insulin to lower blood sugar levels and glucagon to raise them in response to changes in blood sugar.
Yes, insulin is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by allowing cells to take in glucose for energy. Without enough insulin, the body cannot properly control blood sugar levels, leading to high blood sugar levels, known as hyperglycemia.
The pancreas is responsible for regulating blood glucose levels through the production of insulin and glucagon.
Insulin is the hormone responsible for decreasing blood glucose levels. It is released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels, helping to regulate glucose in the body.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe it's the pancreas.
There are several hormone which serve to raise blood glucose levels. Some examples include cortisol, epinephrine, glucagon, and growth hormone.
Glucagon raises blood sugar levels.
Soluble fiber does not raise blood sugar levels. In fact, it can help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
Yes, alcohol has sugar in it and can affect blood sugar levels. Most diabetics are told to avoid alcohol consumption, as it tends to distort blood sugar levels and makes blood sugar control difficult.

The pancreas helps control sugar levels in the bloodstream by producing insulin to lower blood sugar levels and glucagon to raise blood sugar levels.
