Which hormone will increase blood glucose levels?

Which hormone is responsible for the levels of sugar in blood?

What allows Follicle-stimulating hormone and Luteinizing hormone levels to increase again?
Once GnRH levels increase, FSH and LH levels will increase. During pregnancy, GnRH is not required which is responsible for the lack or absence of FSH and LH production. Prolactin can also decrease GnRH production which again will decrease FSH and LH. Luteinizing hormone (LH) levels can also be affected by another hormone called melatonin, which is regulated by the hypothalamus and released by the pineal gland in repsonse to the amount of broad-spectrum light that enters the eyes.
