About Insulin

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate metabolism.

Insulin enables glucose to enter muscle, liver, and other cells. Glucose (blood sugar) is produced during the process of food digestion. Glucose is derived from sugar, starches, and other carbohydrates.

Glucose provides an important energy source for the body.

Diabetes is caused by insufficient insulin production (type 1 diabetes) or insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes). Insulin irregularities impair metabolism and result in elevated glucose levels.
