Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas. When control of insulin levels fails, diabetes mellitus can result.The importance of insulin for maintaining blood glucose levels is mainly due to this effect on liver storage and release. The uptake of glucose by cells can take place without insulin - the hormone simply accelerates this uptake through recruitment of glucose transporter molecules to the cell membrane.3

If there is a lack of insulin in the liver, the liver releases glucose into the bloodstream faster than tissues can metabolize it
