Answer 1

I believe if the body cells have too few receptors for insulin, the blood glucose level may rise to abnormal levels. Insulin is a hormone or a chemical messenger released from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are are higher than normal. It regulates the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and protein by promoting the absorption of glucose from the blood into liver, fat and skeletal muscles.
