Solution: Insulin is the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels in the body.In diabetes patients,insulin is injected to control blood sugar.


Insulin is produced by the pancreas.When insulin is not secreted in the required amount,blood sugar increases rapidly and causes serious effects on the body.The feedback mechanisms in our body ensure timing and amount of hormone production.Cells present in the pancreas are capable of detecting increase in  sugar levels in blood.As a result,more insulin is formed to control sugar levels.When the blood sugar levels drops,insulin production  returns back to normal.
