The two most important pancreatic hormones which regulate blood glucose levels are INSULIN and GLUCAGON.

INSULIN is released in response to elevated blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia), which effectively reduces the blood glucose level.

GLUCAGON is released in response to reduced blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia), which effectively raises the blood glucose level.
