How does the liver help to regulate glucose levels in the blood?

When the blood sugar is very high in the body, the pancreas makes a hormone called 'insulin' this hormone tells the liver to take the excess glucose out of the blood. The glucose is stored as glycogen, a type of sugar, in the liver. The glucose in the blood falls to its correct level. Also when we excercise, the muscles in our body use up a lot of glucose. If blood glucose falls, the pancrease makes another hormone 'glucagon'. This tells the liver to convert some glycogen into glucose and put it back into the blood. Glucose in the blood rises to its correct level.

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).
