A member asked:

What disease would occur if there is hyposecretion of glucagon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Loss of glucagon: People with type 1 diabetes often lose their glucagon after many years. T1DM is a disease of the beta cell in the pancreas, and the alpha cells (which make glucagon) are initially ok. But after many years, diabetics lose the alpha cells too. They can't mobilize glucose from the liver and are prone to hypoglycemia.
