	Insulin	Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a vital role in regulating blood sugar levels in the body. It allows cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream and use it as a source of energy. Insulin also helps store excess glucose in the liver for later use.

As a result, blood sugar and insulin levels can become elevated, leading to various health complications.
