Well, when someone eats any food containing carbohydrates the digestive system breaks carbohydrates down into sugar. Carbohydrates are various substances that provide the body with heat and energy. (Merriam Webster) The sugar (glucose) enters the bloodstream. As blood sugar levels begin to go up, the pancreas makes a hormone called insulin. Insulin cells absorb blood sugar to make energy. Once glucose is taken in by the cells, the levels of the bloodstream begin lowering. While this is happening, the pancreas simultaneously creates glucagon, a hormone that allows the liver to give away stored sugar. This allows the body to have a healthy supply of blood sugar.
