Eat a candy bar, like hard candy. Or, eat a tablespoonful of peanut butter, if you are not allergic. Another choice may be fruit juice.

Why do you feel hungry when glucose levels fall in the blood?
It is your body's way of telling you that you need to eat to raise the glucose level in the blood. Glucose is necessary for your cells and you to live.
What is a response of the body to change in blood glucose?
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
What is the typical response of the body to changes in blood glucose?
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
Why do we feel hungry or hungrier after exercise?
During exercise the body depletes its glucose reserves and blood sugar levels fall.
Summarize easy explain how glucagon and insulin work together to maintain a relatively constant blood sugar level?
Glucagon is a hormone that converts glycogen stored in the liver into Glucose (Sugars). When our blood sugar level fall below normal, glucagon will convert the glycogen stored to sugar (Glucose) to ICREASE our blood sugar levels: Glucagon is used when blood sugar levels fall below normal and glucose is needed to raise the levels. Insulin is necessary for the body to convert sugar, starches into energy needed for daily usage, Insulin is a hormone that is produced by the pancreas and released into the bloodstream when glucose (Blood Sugar) levels are on the rise, When the body has a high blood sugar, Insulin in released, breaking down the glucose and LOWERING the blood sugar levels.
What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?
After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy. To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels. Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose. Not sure about amino acids :P
How does the body respond to decreased blood glucose level?
When your blood glucose levels fall., it means that the sugar in your body is dropping. You need to seek medical advice because you could go into a coma for too low of blood sugar.
What hormone is released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?
Glucagon is the hormone released by the kidneys when blood sugar levels fall too low. This hormone forces the liver to break down glycogen into glucose needed by the cells.
When blood glucose levels fall the liver?
It starts slowing down and soon will shut down
How does glucoregulation work?
Glucoregulation is the regulation of glucose levels in the blood as the name suggests. The normal glucose levels are 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/L, that is before you have eaten anything. After you eat your glucose levels in the blood obviously rise so they need to be brought back down to normal. There are glucoreceptors in the hypothalamus in the brain which detect that change in glucose levels. This then causes the pituitary gland (also next to the brain) to release hormones which make the pancreas produce insulin and release it into the blood. Insulin just triggers tissues and cells to absorb the glucose from the blood. The glucose is then stored in fat cells as glycogen (which we all call fat). Or it is used to make energy. On the other hand if glucose levels fall too low the pancreas produces more glucagon and less insulin. Glucagon makes the tissues and fat cells release glucose into blood to raise blood sugar levels, basically the opposite of insulin.
What is a typical responses in of the body to change in blood glucose?
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
Which of the following hormones is released when your blood glucose levels fall too low?
That is hormone glucogon. It is secreted by pancrease
