The pig pancreas is the pig pancreas, just like the human pancreas, it is not a kidney, and it is not a spleen, so it is commonly called "conjoined". The pancreas is a digestive organ and an endocrine organ located in the upper left abdomen, specifically below the stomach, and the lower left side of the liver is a strip. It can secrete pancreatic juice and insulin. Insulin has the function of regulating sugar metabolism, reducing blood sugar concentration, and also has certain influence on fat and protein metabolism. The pancreas of pigs is generally discarded like lymph nodes and will not be eaten during slaughter inspection.

Actually, eating pig pancreas will not reduce blood sugar. Because the insulin in pig pancreas belongs to protein substances, it will completely lose its biological activity during cooking and taking because of high temperature and digestive juice. At present, the only effective way to use insulin is injection, which is widely used in clinic. Moreover, the cholesterol content of animal viscera is generally high, and eating too much pig pancreas may also increase cholesterol in the blood, which is harmful to health. Some traditional Chinese medicines in folk prescriptions may have certain auxiliary therapeutic effects.
