If a person's blood sugar remains high for a long time after food, which conclusion is most suitable?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Insulin secretion or action may be low
Blood glucose normally rises after a meal, but insulin released by pancreatic beta cells helps body cells take up and use glucose, bringing the level back toward normal. If glucose remains high for a prolonged period, the body may be producing too little insulin or the cells may not respond effectively to it. Therefore option A is the most suitable conclusion. Auxin and the spinal cord do not regulate blood glucose in this manner.
