Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas. The stimulus for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose.. Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. Usually healthy body maintains it at 90mg/dl.
Glucagon counteracts and helps regulate your blood glucose levels. Glucagon also triggers your liver to convert stored glucose (glycogen) into a usable form and then release it into your bloodstream
Insulin resistance, also known as impaired insulin sensitivity, happens when cells in your muscles, fat and liver don't respond as they are immune to the cells.
