WHAT IS INSULIN?
Insulin is a hormone which is produced in the pancreas by special glands known as the Islets of Langerhans. When we eat a meal like hamburger,fries and milkshake, Insulin is released in the blood stream to control blood glucose. The liver stores glucose in the form of glycogen. If the pancreas is not able to produce insulin, diabetes ensues. Diabetes Mellitus may be Type 1 or Type 2.
