After the ingestion of carbohydrates the blood sugar will rise. The elevation of the blood sugar will signal the pancreas to secrete insulin. Insulin is the hormone which lowers blood sugar by signaling the cells to increase their uptake of glucose.Important to know is that insulin is not only secreted due to elevation of blood sugar levels but also in very small amounts from ingestion of fatty acids and in larger amounts from ingestion of proteins, the amount depends on which amino acids and the amount of them that the protein is built up by.
Insulin is a peptide hormone released by the pancreas when glucose levels in the blood rise.
The hormone that signals the release of glucose from storage is glucagon. Glucagon is produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas and works to increase blood glucose levels when they are low, such as during fasting or between meals.

Insulin
Glucagon. This hormone produced in the pancreatic islets works to raise blood glucose levels, preventing hypoglycemia. Insulin does the opposite.
glucagon.
Trypsin is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that helps digest proteins. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting glucose uptake. Glucagon is a hormone also produced by the pancreas that helps increase blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of glucose from storage.
That would be the peptide hormone called "Glucagon". (GLOO-kuh-gone)
Insulin
Insulin
High blood levels of glucose stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose by cells for energy production and storage.
