Low Blood Glucose is the same thing as Low blood sugar, since Glucose is a form of sugar. Glucose is different from other sugars because it has only half the amount of sweetness, compared to other sugars such as Dextrose or Maltose.
Low blood sugar can result in Hypoglycemia, which is common in many people with Diabetes.

When blood glucose levels are low liver cells convert more glucose to glycogen?
The other way around. When blood glucose levels are low, the liver converts stored sugar, glycogen, into blood sugar, glucose. You can remember it this way: glyco-GEN GEN-nerates glucose.
When blood glucose level rises the pancreas secretes insulin and as a result blood glucose level declines when blood glucose level is low the pancreas secretes glycogen and as a result blood glucose?
Catalytic feedback
What is glucose receptors?
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.
What is low levels of glucose in the blood called?
diabetes
When blood glucose level rises the pancreas secretes insulin and as a result blood glucose level declines When blood glucose level is low the pancreas secretes glucagon and as a result blood gluc?
Insulin decrease glucose level.Glucogon increase glucose level.
What are healthy blood glucose levels?
Well, a healthy level of blood glucose wouldn't be too high or too low. Instead, it would be in the middle between high and low. Unhealthy levels of blood glucose would be an extremely high number.
If the BGL was low what would you do?
If your blood glucose level (BGL) was low, it means you have hypoglycaemia and you have to take some sugar or glucose by mouth.
What does pancreas secrete when blood glucose falls?
Pancreas detects blood glucose level by its cells called "Islets of Langerhans." When the blood glucose level is too high, it releases insulin. When it becomes too low, the pancreas then releases glucagon to elevate a low blood glucose.
Insulin is released into the blood when?
The body takes up more glucose
When the glucose level in the blood is too low this hormone prompts the release of glucose stored in the?
Liver
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
