A person's blood glucose concentration is initially 5.0 mmol L⁻¹. After a meal, insulin rises to 12 µU mL⁻¹ and each µU mL⁻¹ of insulin causes glucose uptake of 0.04 mmol L⁻¹ per 10 min. At the same time glucagon falls to 4 µU mL⁻¹ and each µU mL⁻¹ of glucagon causes glucose release of 0.02 mmol L⁻¹ per 10 min.
