Insulin is a protein hormone and is the main factor in controlling a persons blood glucose level.
It is produced by the islet cells of the pancreas when food is eaten or if the blood glucose level is high.
In between meals the islet cells produce low levels of insulin to maintain the balance between the amount of sugar the liver produces and the use of sugar by the muscles, brain,etc.
When food is eaten and the levels of insulin rise it stops the liver releasing sugar into the bloodstream and helps the liver to take up sugar to store as glycogen.
Insulin also helps the muscle and fat cells to use glucose.
The effects of insulin on the liver and other tissues tend to lower the blood glucose level.
Insulin works to help a muscle cell use glucose by creating an opening to allow the glucose to pass into the cell.
Insulin also activates proteins (enzymes) in the cell which help the cell either to store glucose as glycogen or use it for energy.
