Insulin:
Insulin is the magic juice that changed the world of diabetes.  It is a hormone made and released by the pancreas.  Carbohydrates, derived from the foods you consume, is converted to sugars within your body.  Insulin allows your body to properly use these sugars (glucose) for energy or it is stored later for future use.  Insulin helps keep your blood sugar levels from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).
