Pancreas
The pancreas is the gland that is important in regulating glucose levels in the body. It secretes insulin to help lower blood glucose levels and glucagon to raise blood glucose levels as needed.
The gland that regulates blood glucose levels is the pancreas. It releases hormones such as insulin and glucagon to help control blood sugar levels in the body.

Insulin controls glucose levels in the blood. Those having diabetes or suppose to become diabetic, their insulin secretion is erratic and are to take insulin injection to stable the glucose level in the blood.
The pancreas, it can't supply the body with insulin to maintain blood glucose levels.

endocrine part of pancreas controls body use of glucose.that is islets of Langerhans controls this.this release a very important harmones called insulin and glucogan.insulin a polypeptide harmone ,.contains units of aminoacids.it controls carbohydrate metabolism,lipid and protein matebolism.it is secreated by alpha cells.converts glucose to glycogen,this insulin is very important for cells to uptake of glucose.this act as a key to open doors of cell to uptake glucose.this is done only in presence of insulin.if insulin is absent cells wont take glucose although they are surrounded by glucose.this insulin helps in uptake adn utilisation of glucose,glycolysis,glycogenolysis is inhibited by it.gluoneogenesis is also inhibited by it.insulin always tries to decrease blood glucose levels that are present outside the cell.insulin inhibits lipolysis also,in the abscence of insulin their levels increase atherosclerosis that is deposition of lipids in walls of bloodvessels and heart problems.insulin also a anabolic harmone.stimulates protein synthesis.GLUCAGON;these are also secreated by alpha cells .function is to increase blood glucose levels .it converts glycogen to glucose.glucogenolysis is stimulated.gluconeogenesis is also stimulated.glycolysis is inhibited.glucogenesis is stimulated.it favours lipolysis,inhibits synthesis of proteins.thus the body uptake of glucose is controlled by insulin and glucogon secreated by pancreas islets of langerhans,
The pancreas promotes the conversion of glucose to glycogen through the secretion of insulin. When blood glucose levels rise after eating, insulin is released, facilitating the uptake of glucose by cells and stimulating the liver and muscle tissues to convert glucose into glycogen for storage. This process helps regulate blood sugar levels and provides a reserve of energy for the body.
The hypothalamus is the endocrine gland that links the endocrine and nervous systems. It controls many of the pituitary hormone levels and also controls body water levels. The hypothalamus is located in the brain.the thyriod gland
