A model of blood sugar homeostasis is shown in the image here. Blood sugar levels are regulated by insulin and glucagon. When an individual has diabetes, their blood sugar levels can remain high without the ability for the feedback loop to control it. One of the
symptoms of diabetes is increased urination.
Based on the image and the scenario, select ALL of the accurate and true options that apply to blood sugar regulation.

A)
B)
Individuals with diabetes may lack a functional glucagon molecule,
increasing their blood sugar levels permanently.
An individual affected by diabetes will eventually return to homeostasis
since blood sugar levels are tightly controlled.
Individuals with diabetes may lack a functional insulin molecule, which
would reduce the ability of lowering their blood sugar.
Increased blood sugar levels could draw water from the cells to the
bloodstream since the blood is hypertonic to the surrounding cells.
C)
D)
E)
Increased blood sugar levels will increase the osmolarity of the blood,
causing water to be retained in the blood. This could lead to increased
urination to rid the body of the water and glucose.
