Insulin? Insilin is a common misspelling of insulin.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. By helping the cells of the body remove glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream, this hormone helps to keep blood sugar levels under control. However, many people who have diabetes are not able to produce enough of it for the body to function properly. These people may have to take one or more insulin medications to help keep blood sugar within normal levels. Possible side effects of this medication may include weight gain and reactions at the injection site.
