Insulin is the hormone produced by the pancreas that lowers blood glucose by signaling body cells to take up sugar from the bloodstream. It’s made by beta cells in the islets of Langerhans and is used as a medication to control blood sugar in diabetics when the body doesn’t have enough insulin or can’t use it effectively. The other terms refer to a type of muscle tissue, a pelvic bone, and a joint, none of which relate to hormones or diabetes treatment.
