Almost any food will raise it, so I'll assume you mean quickly. Fruit will spike your blood sugar level fairly quickly (fruit juice even more quickly), but it will cap off very quickly. If you want it to stay up, drink a glass of fruit juice followed by bread or crackers or some other carb that will take longer to digest.

What does the pancreas secrete to raise glucose level?
The islets of Langerhans, part of the pancreas, secretes glucagon that raises the glucose level when it is needed to regulate the blood sugar level.
How does beano work?
beano works by preventing gas... it stops you from farting but it does raise glucose level... (glucose means sugar)
What hormones control sugar levels in your body?
Two hormones are released by the pancreas, which both regulate blood sugar levels. The best known is insulin, which encourages glucose to be stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen. Another hormone - glucagon - is produced to encourage the stored glycogen to convert back into glucose, and to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
Describe the two control mechanisms which enable the body to maintain optimum health?
Homeostasis is brought about by negative feedback control. When a change from the norm/set point is detected a counteractive set of measures occur to return the body's internal environment to the set point; eg.1. Osmoregulation . The norm/ set point is the normal blood water level. If the blood water level increases eg after drinking, this is detected by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus responds by sending impulses to the pituitary gland to reduce Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) release. Reduced levels of ADH cause the kidney tubules to reabsorb less water leading to excretion of large volumes of dilute urine and returning the blood water levels to the set point. If the blood water level decreases eg after exercise or eating salty foods, this is detected by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus responds by sending impulses to the pituitary gland to increase ADH release. Increased levels of ADH cause the kidney tubules to reabsorb more water leading to excretion of small volumes of concentrated urine and returning the blood water levels to the set point. eg 2. Blood glucose level. Receptors in the pancreas detect a rise / fall in glucose level in the bloodstream. If blood glucose is too low eg after exercise or a prolonged fast, the pancreas releases the hormone glucose which promotes the conversion of glycogen in the liver to glucose to raise the blood glucose level to the set point. If blood glucose level is too high eg after a meal, the pancreas releases a different hormone, insulin, to promote the conversion of excess glucose to glycogen to be stored in the liver. this has the effect of lowering blood glucose level to the set point.
What does crh secrete that will not raise the blood concentration?
ACTH
What would glucose do to the blood sugar level?
It would raise it.
Why do you feel hungry when glucose levels fall in the blood?
It is your body's way of telling you that you need to eat to raise the glucose level in the blood. Glucose is necessary for your cells and you to live.
What does the pancreas secrete to raise glucose level?
The islets of Langerhans, part of the pancreas, secretes glucagon that raises the glucose level when it is needed to regulate the blood sugar level.
Does glucose raise your sugar level?
Yes
What is the function of the hormone glucagon?
It increase blood glucose level.It is produced by pancrease.
Does sucrose raise blood sugar level?
Sucrose is a type of sugar. Other types of sugar include glucose, fructose, and dextrose. Any sugar ingested raises blood sugar level.
Does glucagon raise or lower blood glucose?
it raises it
Which hormone does not raise blood glucose concentration?
growrh hormone
What can you drink to raise sugar level for diabetes?
They used to say drink orange juice. But a far better choice is to eat a peanut butter sandwich and drink a glass of milk. If you are having a low blood sugar incident, use your glucose tabs to safely but rapidly increase the blood glucose level. The Pb sandwich will help raise glucose for a longer period of time without a rapid spike and a rapid fall.
What triggers the release of glucagon?
A decrease in blood sugar levels would trigger the secretion of glucagon. The glucagon would raise the blood sugar levels through release of glucose from the glycogen stored in the liver.
Do glucose polymers raise a persons blood sugar levels?
yes it does
Which hormone is responsible for the levels of sugar in blood?
There are several hormone which serve to raise blood glucose levels. Some examples include cortisol, epinephrine, glucagon, and growth hormone.
