Insulin maintain glucose levels in the blood. if blood glucose levels got very high, what would you expect to see happen to insulin levels? insulin levels would decrease. insulin levels would increase. insulin levels would not change.

The right answer is Insulin levels would increase.

Insulin is a polypeptide hormone involved in the glucose cycle.

Synthesized by β-cells of islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, insulin allows the absorption of glucose by muscle cells and adipocytes, and its conversion to glycogen or fatty acids. It is therefore a hypoglycemic hormone.

Its role is to maintain the constant concentration of blood glucose. When its secretion is insufficient, there is onset of diabetes, which is why diabetics receive regular injections of insulin.
