, early onset of puberty
, irregular sleep patterns
, high levels of blood sugar"
Answer:
high levels of blood sugar
Explanation:
The pancreas is the only gland in the human body that performs two functions: it is both exocrine (secreting pancreatic juice, which contains digestive enzymes) and endocrine (producing many important hormones, such as insulin, glucagon and somatostatin). The pancreas is also the main organ in controlling blood glucose, the blood sugar rate. It is responsible for the production of insulin, a hormone that lubricates the cell "wall", so that it absorbs carbohydrates in the form of energy
Insulin is responsible for reducing the rate of glucose in the blood (glycemia). Thus, this hormone is responsible for helping the body to use the glucose obtained from the food we eat, to produce energy in the cells, or to store glycogen in the liver, making it essential in maintaining the body's balance. When the pancreas is impaired, this control does not occur and the patient begins to show high levels of sugar in the blood.
