Glucagon- do i produce it???

[rockyrich270190]

Hey guys im 17 and am a fanatic rugby player.  I do a lot of weight and resistance training and combine this with  aerobic training (cardio), my aim is to get toned up and lean (i play scrum-half) for the new season, i seem to have a problem with burning off the fat, in order for the muslce to be seen and my coaches to be able to see an improvement, (abdomen being the main culprit).
Basicall what im asking is if i dont produce insulin does this mean i dont produce glucagon and so cant burn off the fat around my body?
Please help im going crazy trying to figure this out!!! :@
cheers

I am not a physician, but the mom of a one diabetic.  I do know that the body does produce glucagons and stores it in the liver until it is needed. Glucagon is an important hormone involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Produced by the pancreas, it is released when the glucose level in the blood is low (hypoglycemia), causing the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream. The action of glucagon is thus opposite to that of insulin, which instructs the body's cells to take in glucose from the blood in times of satiation.
