After a meal, a person's blood glucose concentration rises to \(9\ \text{mmol\ L}^{-1}\). At that moment, insulin concentration is \(5\ \mu\text{U\ mL}^{-1}\) and glucagon concentration is \(2\ \text{pg\ mL}^{-1}\). Each \(\mu\text{U\ mL}^{-1}\) of insulin lowers blood glucose by \(0.4\ \text{mmol\ L}^{-1}\) per hour, while each \(\text{pg\ mL}^{-1}\) of glucagon raises blood glucose by \(0.1\ \text{mmol\ L}^{-1}\) per hour. Assuming no further food intake, what will the blood glucose concentration be after 2 hours?
