Cortisol,growth hormone, adrenalin AKA epinephrine, glucagon, progesterone and thyroid hormone are considered counter-regulatory hormones as far as diabetes and blood glucose levels are concerned. They need just as much consideration as insulin, because changes in their bloodstream levels, can mean a possible interference with insulin, or a need for more of it. These changes can occur normally within the body to supply extra fuel when needed, or as symptoms of a disease state, or as a result of other medications, such as steroids.

abstract
  • Cortisol,growth hormone, adrenalin AKA epinephrine, glucagon, progesterone and thyroid hormone are considered counter-regulatory hormones as far as diabetes and blood glucose levels are concerned. They need just as much consideration as insulin, because changes in their bloodstream levels, can mean a possible interference with insulin, or a need for more of it. These changes can occur normally within the body to supply extra fuel when needed, or as symptoms of a disease state, or as a result of other medications, such as steroids. The counter-regulatory hormones adrenalin/epinephrine, glucagon and cortisol/cortisone are released to provide extra energy to the body in various circumstances, or if the body believes it's threatened with hypoglycemia. In some cases this is part of the body's "self-defense" mechanism to counter the effects of too much insulin. The following table lists counterregulatory hormones in roughly the order you're likely to encounter them in your diabetes research:
