Question: Which organ has absoulte requirement for blood glucose!?
Answers:
brain

"The brain is particularly susceptible to low blood glucose (which is partly why one gets irritable when one's blood glucose drops - hence the saying 'a hungry man is an angry man')!. This susceptibility is partly because glucose is virtually the only fuel the brain uses (ie, it doesn't use fat, as does muscle) and the brain doesn't even store glucose (as muscle does in the form of glycogen)!. So the brain uses only glucose which it doesn't store; hence it is totally dependent on blood vessels of glucose for its energy supply!. In other words, the brain has a vested interest in a reasonably normal blood glucose level!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are two!. The pancreas which produces insulin, and the liver which can release sugar into the blood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
