Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood glucose levels.
Imbalance of insulin to regulate blood sugar. Vomiting green in diabetics can be caused by high levels of ketones in the urine and abonormally high blood glucose levels. Check urine for ketone levels.
Glucagon is catabolic and increases blood glucose levels, insulin is anabolic decreases blood glucose levels.
Some diabetic supply equipment is used to test and monitor a patient's ketone and blood glucose levels. In order to test these levels, the patient must pierce their skin with a lancing device and collect their blood with a testing strip. The strip is inserted into a blood glucose monitor to determine the current blood glucose level. Insulin will either be taken orally via pills or injected by syringes to regulate the patient's blood glucose.
Cortisol release can increase blood glucose levels.
One can find blood glucose levels online at the website; Diabetes.org. There are plenty of other websites to help one out to find blood glucose levels.
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.
Insuline and Glucagon control blood glucose. Insuline: brings down high levels of glucose. Glucagon: brings glucose levels back to normal, (brings glucose levels up).
Simple chart for normal blood glucose levels...
Insulin
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
