This is certainly true

What is one of the roles of the pancreas in digestion?
The Pancreas controlls the glucose levels in the body. If a living organism takes in too much, its shoots out a type of insulin which lowers the levels of sugar. Alternativly, if there is not enough sugar in the body, the insulin assists in raising the glucose levels in the body until normal.
What does pancreas mean?
The Pancreas is a endocrine gland that secretes insulin (amongst other hormones).
Where is insulin produced from?
after eating, your blood glucose level goes up and the insulin would kick in, insulin is released from the pancreas and the insulin opens the cell door for glucose and the blood glucose levels go back to normal.
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.
Why the concentration of glucose in the blood rises after a meal?
After a meal, glucose levels rise. This causes the pancreas to excrete insulin. Insulin causes cells in the liver, fat, and muscle tissue to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. This makes the blood glucose levels decrease again to a normal rate.
I'm looking for a simple chart to show normal blood glucose levels...?

How does the body return the glucose level to normal?
Blood glucose is regulated with two hormones both produced in the pancreas:called insulin.the catabolic hormones glucagon, cortisol and catecholamines which increase blood glucose;the anabolic hormone insulin, which decreases blood glucoseIn diabetic individuals the pancreas has either ceased to function (Type 1 diabetes) or has decreased its output wth an associated failure of the cells to utilize the enzyme messages (Type 2 diabetes)
What is a normal range of glucose fluctuation?
It is normal for glucose levels to fluctuate a little bit throughout the day. Your glucose levels should increase after you eat then drop down again. It is not normal for your glucose levels to fluctuate widely throughout the day. A normal range is approximately 70-125 mg/dL.
What is normal glucose levels?
Glucose levels are different for different times. There are 3 glucose tests that are given. One is a fasting test, where your glucose levels are tested after fasting. Normal fasting blood glucose level is less than 100 mg of glucose per dl of blood.
