Blood glucose levels

Blood glucose levels indicate the amount of sugar (glucose) present in your bloodstream, mainly derived from the food you eat. Proper levels help your body supply energy to tissues and organs. When you eat, blood glucose rises, prompting the pancreas to release insulin, which helps cells absorb and use this sugar. If levels stay too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia), it can signal issues like diabetes or other health problems. Maintaining balanced blood glucose through diet, physical activity, and medication when necessary is essential for overall health and preventing complications.
