What is insulin ?
It is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starch and other food into energy needed, for daily life. Without insulin your body cannot get the energy it needs from your food. This hormone is made by a gland in the body called the pancreas. Most of our food intake is turned into glucose, a form of sugar which our body uses for energy. Insulin helps the glucose get into cells of the body to provide energy.
