Insulin is the main hormone that responsible for maintenance of blood sugar level. It decreases blood sugar level while another hormone glucagon increases sugar level.
The pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon, both of which play a vital role in regulating blood sugar levels. The two hormones work in balance. If the level of one hormone is outside the ideal range, blood sugar levels may hike or drop. Together, insulin and glucagon help keep conditions inside the body steady.
