🎯 LEVEL 11 — Insulin vs Glucagon
Type 1 knocks out insulin; the glucagon “raise sugar” signal can fade. Here’s the duo, fast.
Insulin: Missing
Autoimmune T1D destroys beta cells → little or no insulin made.
Glucagon: Blunted
Normally tells the liver to release sugar between meals & overnight; in T1D this response can weaken.
Play It Smart
Weaker glucagon = harder to raise lows. Be alert with long gaps/skipped meals & at night.
THINK: Can’t keep sugar down → lack of insulin. Can’t keep it up → lack of glucagon.
