Hypoglycemia occurs when there are low levels of glucose in the blood of a healthy human. What is a way to "correct" hypoglycemia?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypoglycemia is caused by low levels of glucose in the blood. Glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream, thereby increasing blood glucose levels. Insulin decreases blood glucose levels, so increasing its secretion would worsen hypoglycemia. Increasing both insulin and glucagon secretion may not be beneficial as both hormones have opposing actions on blood glucose levels. Decreasing the secretion of thyroid hormone is not directly related to correcting hypoglycemia.
