Insulin is released by the pancreas and enters the blood, delivering glucose into cells for use (therefore lowering your blood glucose level). In some cases, like in a person with Diabetes, glucagon is released and lowers blood glucose levels.

Glucagon
by decrease glucose uptake by the cells and by gluconeogensis
decrease of blood glucose levels
The hormone glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when glucose levels are low.
The hormone that regulates blood glucose levels is insulin plus a second hormone, glucagon. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels and glucagon increases blood glucose levels. Insulin actually carries the glucose molecule across the cell membrane. That is how it actually lowers the glucose molecules in the blood. Glucagon causes the liver, which stores glycogen, to convert it to glucose which is released in the blood. These two hormones form a feedback mechanism which keeps glucose stable.
Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
Hypoglycemia
A. A decrease in glucose. Unless your body is as strange as mine. I'm trying to figure out why my glucose increases when I increase my insulin.
GlucagonINSULIN causes glucose to be removed from the blood stream by having it stored in the form of Glycogen in muscle and liver cellsGLUCAGON causes glycogen to be broken down from liver and muscle tissue and releases glucose into the blood stream, thus increasing circulating blood glucose levels. The hormone, released by the pancreas, is insulin.
Calcitonin
Excessive diuresis withou high blood glucose levels
Insulin causes the uptake of glucose from your blood into your cells. In a healthy person when blood sugar levels go up, insulin is secreted by the pancreas which causes a decrease in blood sugar. When they fall, your pancreas secrets glucagon, which causes cells to release sugar into the blood stream.
The hormonal response to decrease in blood glucose is glucagon.... which actually increases the blood glucose level...
