Answer:

The liver converts any excess glucose in the body that reaches it after a meal to glycogen. This process is stimulated by the hormone insulin which is secreted by the pancreas. Thank you for the question

Answer:

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows your body to use sugar (glucose) from carbohydrates in the food that you eat for energy or to store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia).
