Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. When we eat, our blood sugar levels rise and insulin is released to help transport glucose (derived from the food we eat) to our cells for energy.

This can cause blood sugar levels to drop rapidly several hours later, leading to feelings of hunger and an increased desire to eat.
