if your body can not process sugar correctly it is probably because you dont have the right amount of the hormone insulin

Is growth hormone glucose sparing?
No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.
What hormone enhances protein synthesis decreases glucose use and promotes the destruction of fats?
enhances protein synthesis, decreases glucose use, and promotes the destruction of fats
What hormone is required for the normal use of glucose in the body?
Insulin is the hormone that allows cells to take up glucose. Insulin is synthesised and released from the beta cells in the islets of langerhans of the pancreas. Its release is stimulated by high blood glucose levels.
How does the blood control the blood sugar?
When the blood sugar is very high in the body, the pancreas makes a hormone called 'insulin' this hormone tells the liver to take the excess glucose out of the blood. The glucose is stored as glycogen, a type of sugar, in the liver. The glucose in the blood falls to its correct level. Also when we excercise, the muscles in our body use up a lot of glucose. If blood glucose falls, the pancrease makes another hormone 'glucagon'. This tells the liver to convert some glycogen into glucose and put it back into the blood. Glucose in the blood rises to its correct level.
What hormone stimulates glycogenesis?
The hormone that stimulates glycogenesis is Insulin, in response to high levels of glucose in the blood. Glycogenesis is the process in which excess glucose molecules are added to glycogen chains so that they can be stored ready for use at a later date.
What connection does glucose form with ATP?
Glucose is the energy source for the body. But it cannot use it in that form, so it converts it to ATP for use in metabolism.
Does the liver store the extra glucose that the cells cannot use?
CARBOHYDRATES
What hormone increased the amount of glucose in the bloodstream?
Amylin
What hormone helps body cells get sugar from blood?
Insulin, produced by the pancreas, enables the body to take up and use glucose sugar from the blood. Diabetics have an inability to take up glucose from the blood and can have high blood sugar, which is easily fixed by administering insulin.
What does glucose produce?
Glucose is a kind of sugar that your body needs and categorizes as "food". Glucose is what makes up your blood sugar level. If your blood sugar is too low, your pancreas detects this and releases the hormone insulin. This hormone travels aroudnt the body to get to the liver. The liver detects the insulin and takes glucose out of your blood and stores it as glycogen. Glycogen is essentially glucose in strings which the Liver stores for later use when the body is in need of glucose. This happens when the body detects the presence of Glycogon. Whenever your blood has too low sugar levels the pancreas releases a hormone called glycogon which then travels to the target organ, the Liver. The Liver, then detects the presence of the hormone glycogon, and uses up its reserves (glucose). The glucose is now sent out into your bloodstream which stabilises your sugar levels.

What is the hormone that causes a decrease in blood glucose?
Insulin is released by the pancreas and enters the blood, delivering glucose into cells for use (therefore lowering your blood glucose level). In some cases, like in a person with diabetes, glucagon is released and lowers blood glucose levels.
Why does a plant need to make glucose?
glucose is the primary source of energy. ATP's cannot store a lot of energy so the plats use glucose (C6H12O6) to store their energy.
