When blood sugar levels drop, the body releases a hormone called glucagon from the alpha cells of the pancreas. Glucagon stimulates the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream, helping to raise blood sugar levels back to normal. Additionally, the adrenal glands may release epinephrine (adrenaline), which also helps to increase blood sugar levels by promoting glucose release from the liver.
As your blood sugar drops, your body will release what chemical to stabilize it (bring it back to normal)?
