Glucagon counteracts and helps regulate your blood glucose levels. Glucagon also triggers your liver to convert stored glucose (glycogen) into a usable form and then release it into your bloodstream
Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas. The stimulus for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose.. Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. Usually healthy body maintains it at 90mg/dl.
A fasting blood sugar level of 99 mg/dL or lower is normal, 100 to 125 mg/dL indicates you have prediabetes, and 126 mg/dL or higher indicates you have diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose (sugar) level is too high because your body cannot make a hormone called insulin.
