Homeostasis is the process through which an organism regulates its internal environment in order to maintain a stable and constant condition. An example of homeostasis is the regulation of the glucose sugar level in blood through the interaction of the hormones insulin and glucagon. What happens if the body is unable to maintain its blood glucose levels?

Having blood glucose levels that are too high or too low is very dangerous. Having a blood glucose level that is too high results in high blood pressure. Having a low blood glucose level causes hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia causes symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, exessive sweating, and shaking.
