Adrenalin is released from the adrenal glands above your kidneys.It overrides the normal control of blood sugar by inhibiting the secretion of the hormone insulin. This promotes the break down of glycogen stores to glucose. This means levels of glucose in the blood is higher than normal and gives the body lots of energy to use for a ‘flight or fight’ situation.
