Key hormones include insulin from beta cells, which regulates metabolism and blood sugar, glucagon from alpha cells for blood sugar stabilization, and somatostatin from delta cells to slow nutrient absorption. Diabetes mellitus, affecting glucose metabolism, is categorized into Type 1 (autoimmune) and Type 2 (insulin resistance).
