Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucagon: Made by islet cells (alpha cells) in the pancreas, controls the production of glucose and another fuel, ketones, in the liver. Glucagon is released overnight and between meals and is important in maintaining the body’s sugar and fuel balance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pancreas pumps out more insulin to get blood sugar into cells. Over time, cells stop responding to all that insulin-they’ve become insulin resistant. The pancreas keeps making more insulin to try to make cells respond. Eventually, the pancreas can’t keep up, and blood sugar keeps rising.
