Oh heavens no! I was just commenting that IF she had a dangerously low blood sugar AND IF she was about to inject insulin the results would not have been good.
I agree the whole thing was handled badly. Sorry I was not clearer in my response. I'm gettin’ old. And I tend to rush.
Glucagon is NOT Glucose. It does however trigger the release of Glucose within the Body.
Glucagon helps maintain the level of glucose in the blood.
Glucose is stored in the liver in the form of glycogen, which is a starch-like polymer chain made up of glucose molecules. Liver cells (hepatocytes) have glucagon receptors. When glucagon binds to the glucagon receptors, the liver cells convert the glycogen polymer into individual glucose molecules, and release them into the bloodstream, in a process known as glycogenolysis. As these stores become depleted, glucagon then encourages the liver to synthesize additional glucose by gluconeogenesis.
Glucagon also regulates the rate of glucose production through lipolysis.
