Insulin is a hormone that lowers blood sugar, and is given as a drug in contexts of high blood sugar or hyperglycemia, such as that seen in diabetes. However, if too much insulin is given, the blood sugar levels can drop too low and cause hypoglycemia. Insulin is also given to lower potassium levels. One side effect of insulin is lipohypertrophy, or fat buildup, at the injection site. This can be prevented by rotating injection sites.
