A person's insulin pump is programmed to deliver a dose for a carbohydrate-containing lunch. A fault causes the pump to deliver much less insulin than programmed, although the whole lunch is eaten.
What is the most likely effect of the pump fault?
blood glucose rises too high because liver cells store more glucose as glycogen
blood glucose falls too low because liver cells release less glucose into the blood
blood glucose falls too low because body cells remove less glucose from the blood
blood glucose rises too high because body cells remove less glucose from the blood
