When we have not eaten for a while, blood glucose levels fall, which prompts a decrease in insulin and an increase in glucagon.  

Low blood glucose triggers the alpha cells of pancreas to release glucagon. It prompts the liver to release glucose it has stored in its cells into the bloodstream. This increases the glucose in the blood. Insulin responds to blood sugar level opposite to glucagon. Insulin increases with high blood sugar.
