About this area

Hormones are chemical messages that travel through the blood. Glands make these messages to help control how the body works. Hormone disorders can occur when levels are too high or too low.

Diabetes involves blood sugar that is too high. Insulin is the hormone that helps sugar move from the blood into cells, where the body uses it for energy.
