Reply To: Which gland secretes insulin?

Hormones (chemical messengers) are released by endocrine glands into the bloodstream and delivered to numerous organs and tissues throughout the body. The pancreas, for example, produces insulin, which helps the body control blood sugar levels. The pituitary gives the thyroid orders to secrete hormones that control the pace of metabolism in the body (the more hormone in the bloodstream, the faster the chemical activity; the less hormone, the slower the activity).

Insulin injections are administered to people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It's utilised when oral medication isn't working. Insulin injections operate by assisting the movement of sugar from the bloodstream into the cells of the body. Furthermore, it prevents the liver from generating additional sugar. Having high sugar levels in the bloodstream can have major health and lifestyle consequences. If blood sugar levels aren't controlled, it raises the risk of death dramatically.
