Destroy b cel :arrow: Decrease insulin :arrow: decrease remaining Insulin/Antagonist hormone ( such as GH, cortisol, glucagon ) decrease :arrow: hyperglycemia.
When destruction of pituitary :arrow: no GH, cortisol :arrow: remaining insulin/antagonist hormone is still increase :arrow: hypoglycemia ( i suppose that the remaining insulins will act over the glucagon, but i am not sure )
If removal of pancrea a :arrow: no insulin, no glucagon :arrow: GH, cortisol increase glucose
