Diabetes is controlled by _____ hormone.
Answer: C
Diabetes is controlled by insulin.
Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It lowers the blood sugar level by helping cells take up glucose and by promoting its storage as glycogen. When insulin is deficient or ineffective, blood sugar rises: this is diabetes mellitus.
Thyroxine controls metabolic rate, adrenaline prepares the body for emergencies (and raises blood sugar), and thymosin, from the thymus, helps develop immunity.
