Answer:

glucagon works to counterbalance the effects of insulin.

Step-by-step explanation:

when insulin is released, the blood sugar in the body decreases; however, when the blood sugar is low enough, the system instead releases glucagon which breaks down the stored sugar and balances the blood sugar level in the body. if the level goes too high then insulin will be released again.
