Patient's question:
Hello, how is the relationship between glucagon and insulin? Are there any connections between them?Doctor's answer:
These two hormones are excreted by the pancreas, but their effects are exactly opposite. Glucagon, for example, has the function of lowering blood sugar, especially in stressful conditions when the body excretes this hormone to lower blood sugar, playing a certain protective role. Insulin is the only factor that can reduce blood sugar. From this point of view, the two still have a certain correlation.
