Insulin helps maintain glucose levels in the blood. If blood glucose levels got very high, what would you expect to see happen to insulin levels

Insulin helps keeps your blood sugar level from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia). The cells in your body need sugar for energy. ... After you eat food and your blood sugar level rises, cells in your pancreas (known as beta cells) are signaled to release insulin into your bloodstream.
