The Role of the Endocrine System Insulin‚ a hormone buried by the pancreas‚ controls blood sugar levels in the body. It travels from the pancreas to the liver in the bloodstream. Other responses are controlled by hormones; the response is slower but longer lasting than if it had been controlled by the nervous system. Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes is an auto-immune disease where the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. People with type 1 diabetes
