The hormonal response to decrease in blood glucose is glucagon.... which actually increases the blood glucose level...
There are several blood tests that can diagnose diabetes. The most common is a fasting blood glucose test, where the glucose level is measured after at least eight hours of fasting. The blood glucose can be measured without fasting, but it can only diagnose diabetes, not prediabetes. The oral glucose tolerance test monitors how a body responds to an influx of glucose. After fasting for a least 8 hours, blood glucose levels are measured before and every 30-60 minutes after the ingestion of a glucose beverage for three hours. A urine test for high levels of glucose and ketones can help diagnose diabetes, but these results are not enough on their own.

Hypoglycemia results when your body's glucose is used up too rapidly, when glucose is released into the bloodstream.
Yes, it secretes insulin in response to glucose levels, to keep them normal.
A reaction is what happens to the body when a stimulus is applied, a response is what happens next; i.e a stimulus illicits a reaction which illicits a respose. For example, glucose in the blood (a stimulus) causes the pancreas to release insulin (a reaction), which in turn causes the cells to take up glucose from the blood (a response).
Glucose affects red blood cells by helping them carry oxygen. This is all done in a response to the insulin entering the body.
Endocrine reflex
the glucose is hydrolised by the sulfuric acid. Furfural derivates are formed. These derivates form with phenol a yellow complex wich can be measured with a spectrophotometer.
There are glucose transport proteins. Since there are fewer glucose particles in the cell (when compared to the fluid outside of cells), it is passive transport, which occurs naturally. The transport protein is necessary for the glucose to pass through the cell membrane.
insulin is secreted in response to high blood sugar.
The body is very effecient in extracting glucose, more than other species. Mammals are characterized by their fast metabolisms which results in the breaking down of glucose extremely fast compared to reptiles, fish, and birds.
