In your opinion, how does the pancreas regulate the exact amount of glucose to be absorbed into its

target organs through the secretion of insulin?

Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.
