Answers (1)

(d) his sugar level in his blood was high

The specialized cells called beta cells in Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas produce insulin. It plays a key role in the absorption of blood sugar by the cells. Thus, the patient who is advised to take insulin injections might be suffering from high blood sugar levels in the body.

(c) Iodine in food helps in preventing goitre.
