Answer 1

The blood glucose level in a patient was very high. It may be due to inadequate secretion of insulin from pancreas.

Insulin is a hormone generated by the pancreas that regulates blood glucose levels. When insulin is not released properly, glucose cannot be absorbed by cells, resulting in excessive blood sugar levels. This disorder is referred to as diabetes.
