What are the hormones that control glucose levels in the blood?

Glucagon- increases levels
Insulin decreases.
Both secreted by Pancreas

Epinephrine, Norepinephrine- decreases glucose levels

I know there are more. Please help me here.
 
i know glucocoritcoids (like cortisol and cortisone) increase blood glucose levels by promoting gluconeogenesis. CCK and gastrin can stimulate glucagon. while somatostatin can regulate both insulin and glucagon. basically insulin is the only one that seems to reduce blood glucose levels by promoting uptake.
