Somatostatin is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus, stomach, intestines and pancreas. It generally inhibits the action of other hormones and is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters, cell growth and blood sugar, among other functions. Synthetic somatostatin analogues are used to treat conditions such as acromegaly, carcinoid syndrome and other conditions caused by unregulated hormones.

| - Somatostatin is a hormone produced by the hypothalamus, stomach, intestines and pancreas. It generally inhibits the action of other hormones and is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitters, cell growth and blood sugar, among other functions. Synthetic somatostatin analogues are used to treat conditions such as acromegaly, carcinoid syndrome and other conditions caused by unregulated hormones.
- Somatotatin is one of the three hormones produced by the pancreas, the other two being insulin and glucagon. Somatostatin is also known as growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH) or somatotropin release-inhibiting hormone (SRIF). Insulin controls and lowers the level of blood sugar by moving sugar into cells, and glucagon raises raises the level of blood sugar in the blood by stimulating the liver to release glucose stored in it. On the other hand, somatostatin is classified as an inhibitory hormone with many actions in the body. In the context of diabetes, it acts mainly in two ways:
