Here’s Why Understanding the Role of Glucagon Is Vital for Type II Diabetes.
Regarding blood glucose control, glucagon plays an equally important role as insulin.
Purpose of the Article
I wrote about numerous metabolic hormones, mainly in fat loss and muscle retention context, highlighting their intricacies and critical roles in metabolism.
In my perspective, in addition to insulin, the next critical hormone for metabolic diseases (e.g., type II diabetes) is glucagon which plays a vital role in glucose metabolism.
I explain its complicated role in simple terms by leveraging credible sources in the field. This piece is not a scientific paper and not health advice.
Inspiration for the Story
Many subscribers are interested in my metabolic and mental health content. As I wrote a lot about insulin before, some readers want to understand the role of glucagon in metabolism, weight loss, and diabetes management.
I mentioned glucagon in previous articles but did not go into detail. Thus, my goal in this piece is to provide fundamental information on this crucial hormone for awareness.
