Hyperglycemia
Medical intervention
Administer injectable insulin
Give diet with low sugar
Encourage exercises

Insulin facilitates the carriage of glucose across the cell membrane
Where it is mobilized in the mitochondria to generate energy for cellular processes
Glucose level maintained within normal limits
Unused glucose stored in the liver
Release of glucagon is triggered
