Answer
Insulin from pancreas
Reason — The pancreas secretes the hormone insulin, which helps to control the blood sugar level in our body. If the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, the blood glucose (sugar) level rises, because glucose cannot be taken up by the cells for energy production.
This condition is called diabetes mellitus and people suffering from this condition are often given insulin injections to maintain their blood sugar at a normal level.
So, when the blood glucose level in a patient is very high, it is due to inadequate secretion of insulin from the pancreas.
