Good morning! Another Friday, another question 🙂

A doctor may also prescribe insulin, a hormone in your body that helps balance your blood glucose levels. When there’s too much glucose in your bloodstream, insulin tells your body to store the leftover glucose in your liver. Needing insulin isn’t a sign of failure and shouldn’t be feared as an option for diabetes management.

a. True
b. False
