Blood Sugar Regulation App

In this interactive Biology activity, you’ll connect ideas like blood glucose regulation, diabetes education, homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, beta cells, pancreas function, and the endocrine system.

See how your body keeps blood sugar steady, and what happens when it doesn’t. Use a simple slider to change insulin sensitivity (from 0–100%), flip pancreatic beta‑cell function on or off to model Type 1 diabetes, and run “what‑if” scenarios. A large glucose meter fills or empties based on your current level, while a live trend line shows rises and falls over time, so you can spot hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia at a glance.

Key Features:
– Easy insulin sensitivity slider (0–100%) you can adjust on the fly
– Beta‑cell on/off toggle to compare healthy vs Type 1 diabetes
– Big, readable glucose meter plus a live line graph of changes
– Instant visual feedback so you can test cause and effect quickly
– Touch‑friendly controls that work great on phones and tablets
