(b) Increases blood glucose levels by stimulating glucagon production
(c) Decreases blood glucose levels of forming glycogen
(d) Increases blood glucose level by promoting cellular uptake of glucose
Correct Answer:
Decreases blood glucose levels of forming glycogen
Explanation:

Insulin also stimulates conservation of glucose to glucogen (glycogenesis) in the target cells.
