Detailed explanation-1: -When your blood glucose levels trend lower or fall too low (hypoglycemia), your pancreas releases more glucagon. Glucagon helps blood glucose levels rise back up in multiple ways, including: Glucagon triggers your liver to convert stored glucose (glycogen) into a usable form and then release it into your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucagon secretion in response to meals varies depending on what we eat: In response to a carbohydrate based meal, glucagon levels in the blood fall to prevent blood glucose rising too high. In response to a high protein meal, glucagon levels in the blood rise.
Detailed explanation-3: -In response to declining plasma glucose there is a decrease in insulin secretion and increases in glucagon, adrenaline, cortisol, and GH secretion.
