Why insulin called as hypoglycemic hormone?

Insulin is referred to as a hypoglycemic hormone because it plays a crucial role in lowering blood glucose levels. It facilitates the uptake of glucose by cells, particularly in muscle and adipose tissue, and promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver. By doing so, insulin helps regulate blood sugar levels, preventing hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). This action is essential for maintaining energy balance and overall metabolic health.
