My family has a history of diabetes, and I'm trying to educate myself more about it. I know the pancreas produces insulin, but I heard someone say the liver is also involved somehow. Does the liver secrete insulin, or is its role different?

No, the liver does not secrete insulin; insulin is produced and secreted exclusively by the pancreas. If you are having concerns about insulin levels or blood sugar, please get a proper fasting insulin test done under medical supervision.

As a diabetic for 12 years, I can tell you insulin comes from the pancreas, not the liver. The liver actually does the opposite—it stores glucose and releases it when sugar drops. This is why we have to be very careful with fasting or eating late.

My grandmother used to say eating bitter gourd helps the liver make insulin, but actually, the doctor explained that insulin comes only from the pancreas. The liver just stores the sugar. It is always best to follow what the doctor advises for diabetes.

In my 70 years, I have seen many people get confused about this. Insulin is from the pancreas, beta. But don't worry too much about these details; just eat on time, keep stress low, and live a peaceful life.

Simple answer is no, pancreas makes insulin. The liver just listens to insulin's signals. For keeping both healthy, just cut down on market sweets and stick to simple home-cooked meals with less oil and maida.

No, insulin is the pancreas's job, but the liver responds to it to manage sugar storage. If you want to improve how your body handles insulin, a brisk 30-minute walk daily after dinner works wonders, provided your doctor clears you for it.
