Summary Introduction

To review:

The percentage of normal one-hour level of blood glucose shown by the prediabetic graph at one hour following glucose ingestion.

Introduction:

Glucose is the main source of energy in the body. The energy produced by the glucose molecules through cellular respiration is in the form of ATP(adenosine triphosphate), which serves as the energy currency of all cells. The blood glucose levels are regulated by insulin and glucagon hormones secreted by the alpha and beta-pancreatic cells.
