Glucagon's first action is to

• Open the glucose carriers to allow more glucose into cells

• Convert stored triglycerides into glucose

• Instruct the liver to release stored glycogen and glucose

• Convert stored proteins into glucose

Low blood sugar below 5 mmol glucose/L blood is called

• anemia

• hyproglucemia

• hypoglycemia

• hyperglycemia

A person that requires insulin shots has

• type 1 diabetes
• type 2 diabetes
