</span>The glands which get involved are the pancreas and adrenal glands.</span><span> During increase in blood sugar, the pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin causes red blood cells, muscle cells and fat cell to absorb sugar from the blood.</span><span>During decrease of blood sugar, the pancreas secretes  glucagon, a hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas. Glucagon causes the liver to release the glucose stored in its cells.</span><span>The Adrenal gland secretes cortisol during times of low blood sugar levels.  Cortisol promotes the use of fatty acids to provide energy for working muscles, rather than using glucose.</span>
