What does pancreas secrete when blood glucose falls?

What is the body's response to insulin?
The purpose of the drug insulin is to lower the body's glucose level, which is too high or insulin would not be given. The glucose level must be checked constantly until it is down to acceptable number.
What are the term used when the person having blood glucose level below and above the critical level?

Is a blood glucose level over 1200 dangerous?
Not a high dangerous, but that also depends on the individual. If the person's blood glucose range is from 70-110, then 380 can start to get dangerous. Anything over a person's bgl starts to be a threat to them. When a person's bgl is high then the body's glucose level rises creating things called Ketones. Ketones are unbroken down glucose molecules that are now acidic. If you have too many Ketones your body will go into a stage called Ketoacidosis, and this is when your blood has too much acid that it is starting to travel through your body and dissolving your organs. While not technically dangerous, if its a constant number then it may lead to dangerous things. Some people, more of the littler kids can have a higher bgl because they are still developing in which this would not be a dangerous number, but like everything else in diabetes it just depends on the person.
Why is insulin associated with the maintenance of blood glucose levels?
The pancreas releases insulin to lower the level of glucose in blood, and on the other hand, for the balance, it also secretes glucagon to elevate the level of glucose. Insulin is one half of the balance mechanism for glucose levels. Too much and too little glucose has damaging effects on the body and it's cells.
