Blood Sugar

Blood sugar, or blood glucose, refers to the amount of sugar (glucose) present in your bloodstream. It comes mainly from the carbohydrates you eat, like bread, fruits, and sugary foods. Your body, especially the pancreas, releases insulin to help cells absorb glucose for energy or storage. Maintaining balanced blood sugar levels is essential for overall health; high levels can lead to conditions like diabetes, while low levels might cause symptoms like dizziness or weakness. Monitoring and managing blood sugar through diet, activity, and medical care helps support optimal health and energy.
