Glucoregulation is the regulation of glucose levels in the blood as the name suggests. The normal glucose levels are 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L, that is before you have eaten anything. After you eat your glucose levels in the blood obviously rise so they need to be brought back down to normal. There are glucoreceptors in the hypothalamus in the brain which detect that change in glucose levels. This then causes the pituitary gland (also next to the brain) to release hormones which make the pancreas produce insulin and release it into the blood. Insulin just triggers tissues and cells to absorb the glucose from the blood. The glucose is then stored in fat cells as glycogen (which we all call fat). Or it is used to make energy.
On the other hand if glucose levels fall too low the pancreas produces more glucagon and less insulin. Glucagon makes the tissues and fat cells release glucose into blood to raise blood sugar levels, basically the opposite of insulin.

What is glucoregulation?
Glucoregulation is the process by which the body maintains stable blood glucose levels through the coordinated action of hormones such as insulin and glucagon. Insulin helps lower blood glucose levels by promoting its uptake into cells, while glucagon raises glucose levels by stimulating its release from stored sources like the liver. This balance is crucial for providing energy to cells while preventing dangerously high or low blood sugar levels.
Is there any other examples of homeostasis?
Other examples of hoemeostasis include:=blood sugar (glucoregulation)==and==osmoregulation; the control of water concentration in blood and body fluids. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/bitesize/higher/biology/control_regulation/negative_feedback1_rev.shtml)=
