Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. Its function is to allow other cells to transform glucose into energy throughout your body. Without insulin, cells are starved for energy and must seek an alternate source. This can lead to life-threatening complications.

Insulin is a natural hormone produced in the pancreas. When you eat, your pancreas releases insulin to help your body make energy out of sugars (glucose). It also helps you store energy. Insulin is a vital part of metabolism. Without it, your body would cease to function.

One effect of insulin deficiency is increased breakdown and metabolism of fat for energy. In the absence of insulin, hormone-sensitive lipases are strongly activated, resulting in the release of large quantities of fatty acids and glycerol into the circulating blood.
