if it got too low then the body's cells wouldn't have enough energy to preform their necessary functions and would die Low blood glucose leads to slugishness, a feeling of drunkeness. As it falls lower loss of consciousness occurs. Eventually this will result in a coma and death if not reversed.

∙ 14y agoHaving low blood sugar is a lot rarer than having high blood sugar. Your body actually has 3-4 hormones that raise blood sugar - cortisol, glucagon, growth hormone, maybe one other - but only one hormone that lowers it - insulin. That is because you can live for quite a while with high-ish blood sugar, but you will die pretty fast from low blood sugar. Having low blood sugar (being hypoglycemic) typically arises nowadays from diabetics who receive too much insulin. I guess it can also happen if someone has not been eating in a while and all of a sudden tries doing some strenuous physical activity, but this is self limiting (since the body will make you stop doing it by having you faint, then when you are unconscious, your body will get your blood sugar back up again).

Insulin causes a a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose b an increase in the concentration of blood glucose?
A. A decrease in glucose. Unless your body is as strange as mine. I'm trying to figure out why my glucose increases when I increase my insulin.
Why growth hormone increases blood glucose?
by decrease glucose uptake by the cells and by gluconeogensis
What chemical is responsible for the decrease in blood glucose concentration is released by?
Pancreas
What does Calcitonin causes?
a decrease in the blood concentration of calcium
Chemical that responsible for the decrease in the blood glucose concentration is released by?
You think probable to insuline.
A decrease in blood glucose that causes the inhibition of insulin is an example of?
Hypoglycemia
Insulin causes a a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose b an increase in the concentration of blood glucose?
A. A decrease in glucose. Unless your body is as strange as mine. I'm trying to figure out why my glucose increases when I increase my insulin.
What is the hormonal response to a decrease in blood glucose level?
The hormonal response to decrease in blood glucose is glucagon.... which actually increases the blood glucose level...
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 the concentration of glucose in the blood rises after a meal?
After a meal, glucose levels rise. This causes the pancreas to excrete insulin. Insulin causes cells in the liver, fat, and muscle tissue to take up glucose and store it as glycogen. This makes the blood glucose levels decrease again to a normal rate.
Why growth hormone increases blood glucose?
by decrease glucose uptake by the cells and by gluconeogensis
How does the hormone regulates blood glucose levels?
The hormone that regulates blood glucose levels is insulin plus a second hormone, glucagon. Insulin lowers blood glucose levels and glucagon increases blood glucose levels. Insulin actually carries the glucose molecule across the cell membrane. That is how it actually lowers the glucose molecules in the blood. Glucagon causes the liver, which stores glycogen, to convert it to glucose which is released in the blood. These two hormones form a feedback mechanism which keeps glucose stable.
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.
Increases in the hormone insulin lead to?
decrease of blood glucose levels
Will infection cause blood glucose levels to increase or decrease?

What chemical is responsible for the decrease in blood glucose concentration is released by?

What would the increase of insulin result to?
a decrease in the amount of glucose in the blood
