Ans:
1. He is suffering from diabetes. Deficiency of insulin causes diabetes.
2. Pancreas secretes insulin. Insulin helps in regulating blood sugar.
3. When the sugar level in blood increases, it is detected by the a-cells of the pancreas which responds by producing more insulin. As the blood sugar level falls, insulin secretion is reduced.
