Solution
The correct option is D Hyperglycaemia
Beta cells of islets of Langerhans sense sugar in the blood and release the necessary amount of insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Insulin hormone regulates blood glucose by allowing many of body's cells to absorb and use glucose. In turn, this drops blood glucose levels. The loss of these cells means the body can no longer produce insulin, the hormone required to convert food into energy for the body's cells. Hyperglycemia condition is caused by abnormally high blood glucose levels. So, the correct answer is 'Hyperglycaemia'
