It depends on the cause of the high blood sugar. If the patient has type II Diabetes, their blood sugar may remain high after an insulin injection because their cells are insulin resistant. Often, these patients will be placed on a drug that increases insulin sensitivity, such as Metformin.

Not necessarily. Sugar is not a stimulant by itself, however, it causes the production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone vital to regulating the amount of energy in your body.

Which hormone is secreted by alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas?
The Alpha cells in the pancreas are found in the islets of Langerhans and they secrete glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that breaks down glycogen (stored in the liver) into glucose. In a normal functioning person this would occur if the glucose levels fall below a certain point (hypoglycemic). Diabetics can go low because this hormone is not released... along with insulin, which comes from the beta cells. Insulin acts as a "key" and allows sugar to go into the cells throughout the body. When insulin is not produced your sugar levels rise and you become hyperglycemic.
