Does your pancreas secrete insulin if there is no sugar in the blood or stomach?

No, the pancreas does not secrete insulin if there is no sugar in the blood or stomach.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps control blood sugar levels. It is released when blood sugar levels rise, such as after a meal. Insulin helps cells absorb glucose (sugar) from the blood and use it for energy.

If there is no sugar in the blood or stomach, the pancreas will not release insulin. This is because insulin is not needed to lower blood sugar levels when there is no sugar present.
