"Insulin and glucagon regulate the concentration of glucose in the blood. When the blood sugar is too high, insulin is released to trigger the absorption of glucose from the blood, to decrease the blood glucose concentration. When the blood glucose it too low, glucagon promotes the release of glucose into the blood. So, insulin and glucagon have an antagonistic relationship because although they are both responsible for returning the blood sugar to normal, insulin absorbs excess glucose while glucagon returns glucose to the blood when there is not enough."
If you are reading this, you are awesome, and I wish you a happy and prosperous day!
