Insulin regulates blood glucose levels by stimulating glucose uptake and storage in liver and muscle cells. It promotes the conversion of glucose to glycogen in the liver and fat storage in adipose tissue. A lack of insulin leads to high blood glucose through increased gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis. Various medical conditions can cause insulin deficiency and disrupt normal blood glucose regulation.
