Blood glucose is regulated with two hormones both produced in the pancreas:
called insulin.
- the catabolic hormones glucagon, cortisol and catecholamines which increase blood glucose;
- the anabolic hormone insulin, which decreases blood glucose
In diabetic individuals the pancreas has either ceased to function (Type 1 Diabetes) or has decreased its output wth an associated failure of the cells to utilize the enzyme messages (Type 2 diabetes)

Insulin and Glucagon and what happens to the person has skipped e meal?
After a person has skipped a meal, the person's blood glucose level will stay at its normal level as there isn't any glucose absorbed. To maintain this normal blood glucose level, the pancreatic cells will secrete glucagon which stimulates the body to convert stored glycogen into glucose. There won't be any insulin secreted as insulin is only secreted when the blood glucose level increases beyond its normal level (for example, after a meal).
What is glycogen and why is it important for our energy?
Glycogen is the type of carbohydrate which our body uses for storage. It is normally stored in muscles. It is important as a 'reserve' source of energy for our body. When the blood glucose level decreases, insulin converts glycogen into glucose so as to bring it to the normal blood glucose level.
When patient needs to be given glucose?
When a person has Diabetes mellitus, they are unable to regulate the amount of sugar in the body because their pancreas is unable to produce sufficient insulin. When they experience hypoglycemia their blood glucose level drops below normal. They should be given glucose to take the level back to the normal zone.
When does patient need to be given glucose?
When a person has diabetes mellitus, they are unable to regulate the amount of sugar in the body because their pancreas is unable to produce sufficient insulin. When they experience hypoglycemia their blood glucose level drops below normal. They should be given glucose to take the level back to the normal zone.
Where is glucose converted into glycogen?
In a biologically normal body, the body's source of glucose comes from ingestion and the diet. Scientific research indicates that in the event of starvation, the body can convert glycogen to glucose in the liver and make glucose for up to 6 hours. A person therefore needs to eat food (carbohydrates and sugars) to maintain a healthy level of glucose in the blood.
What is the function of insulin and glucogen?
Insulin decrease body glucose level.Glucogon increases body glucose level.
What cells in the pancreas play a role in diabetes?
Insulin...When the blood-sugar level in your body is too high, your pancreas produces more insulin which then allows the glucose to be absorbed by body cells. The glucose level will then reduce. When the Blood-sugar level is too low, your pancreas does not release insulin, which mean that less glucose is absorbed in body cells. The glucose level in the blood is therefore increased.

What is the suger range in human body?
The body maintains the blood glucose level between about 3.6 and 5.8 mM (mmol/L, i.e., millimoles/liter), or 64.8 and 104.4 mg/dL. normal blood glucose level in humans is about 4 mM (4 mmol/L or 72 mg/dL, i.e. ~issa~
What organ in the body detects changes in blood glucose level?
the liver
