What substance do people with diabetes use to control their blood sugar levels?

Individuals with diabetes often use insulin to manage their blood sugar levels effectively. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that facilitates the uptake of glucose into the cells, thereby lowering the level of glucose in the bloodstream. People with type 1 diabetes, in which the body does not produce insulin, and some individuals with type 2 diabetes, who may not use insulin effectively, may require insulin injections or insulin pumps to maintain optimal blood sugar control.

While glucose is a type of sugar that individuals with diabetes must monitor closely to avoid spikes in blood sugar levels, it is not a substance used to control those levels; rather, it is what they aim to regulate. Adrenaline, a hormone released during stress, can actually contribute to increased blood sugar levels. Jasmine does not have any role in blood sugar management and is unrelated to diabetes treatment.
