Circulatory System

400

What would Elisa blood Glucose levels have been if we tested her and Why?

High blood glucose due to low Insulin

Circulatory, Respiratory

500

Why can't starch go from the circulatory system into the cells?

The starch molecule is to large to enter the cell

500

How does Diabetes make someone tired all the time?

The main reason the body takes in glucose and O2 is to create?

Energy
