A
Parathyroid
B
Pancreas
C
Pituitary gland
D
Hypothalamus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Maintenance of blood glucose levels by glucagon and insulin. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which increases endogenous blood glucose levels through glycogenolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin lowers blood glucose levels by supplying the body with glucose and assisting cells in absorbing glucose. However, the pancreas releases glucagon when blood sugar levels are low. Blood sugar levels rise as a result of glucagon’s signal to the liver to release stored glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eat at regular times, and don’t skip meals. Choose foods lower in calories, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and salt. Track your food, drink, and physical activity. Drink water instead of juice or soda.
