Insulin is made in the

• heart

• bloodstream

• liver

• pancreas

What is happening at letter E in the blood glucose level feedback loop (in a person who does not have diabetes)?

• The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream.

• The pancreas signals the production of glucagon.

• The pancreas signals the production of insulin.

• Glucose molecules enter cells.

What happens in Type 1 diabetes?

• Insulin receptors do not work

• Insulin is not produced

• Insulin does not work properly

• Glycogen is not stored properly

Type 2 diabetes

• results in low blood glucose levels after a carb-heavy meal.

• is caused by no or very little insulin production.

• is caused by insulin receptors not responding well to insulin.

• results in high blood glucose levels after a carb-heavy meal.
