Blood sugar regulation refers to the process by which the body maintains optimal levels of glucose in the bloodstream. This is primarily managed by the hormones insulin and glucagon, produced by the pancreas. When blood sugar levels rise after eating, insulin helps cells absorb glucose for energy or storage, while glucagon works to release stored glucose when levels drop. Maintaining balanced blood sugar is crucial for overall health. Imbalances can lead to conditions like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), which can cause symptoms ranging from fatigue to serious complications like diabetes. Regular monitoring and a balanced diet can help support effective blood sugar regulation.
