Blood glucose regulation is the body’s process of maintaining stable blood sugar levels. The pancreas plays a key role by releasing insulin when glucose levels are high, such as after eating. Insulin helps cells absorb glucose for energy or storage, lowering blood sugar.

Blood Glucose Regulation PPT: Meaning, Factors
When blood glucose drops, the pancreas releases glucagon, which signals the liver to release stored glucose, raising levels back to normal. This balance prevents levels from being too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia). Proper regulation is crucial for energy management, and imbalances can lead to conditions like diabetes, where the body struggles to regulate glucose effectively.
