- unable to produce enough energy
- too much glucose
- Glucose
- glucose levels are detected as blood flows through the pancreas
- high levels
- pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream
- liver and muscle tissues detect presence of insulin
- liver and muscle tissues convert excess glucose into glycogen
- continues until pancreas detects normal blood glucose levels
- pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream
- low levels
- pancreas releases glucagon into the bloodstream
- liver detects presence of glucagon
- liver converts stores of glycogen back into glucose so it can be released back into bloodstream
- continues until pancreas detects normal blood glucose levels
- pancreas releases glucagon into the bloodstream
- high levels
- glucose levels are detected as blood flows through the pancreas
