A member asked:
What is the role of the pancrease (pancrelipase) in controlling the blood glucose level?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreas & glucose: Pancreatic beta cells secrete Insulin when they detect a rise in blood sugar. Pancreatic Alpha cells produce glucagon which stimulates liver to convert glycogen to glucose (as well as fats & proteins ultimately to glucose) when blood sugar levels are low.
