Show how our blood glucose levels are controlled and what happens in diabetes.

Blood glucose level is carefully controlled as it is vital for our cells to work correctly. This is an important aspect of maintaining constant conditions in our bodies (homeostasis). Our model shows how the hormones insulin and glucagon control the blood glucose level and what happens when it goes wrong in diabetes.
