Blood Sugar Level

Blood sugar level refers to the amount of glucose (sugar) present in your blood at a given time. Glucose is a primary energy source for your body's cells, supplied through food intake, especially carbohydrates. After eating, blood sugar rises, prompting your pancreas to release insulin, which helps cells absorb and use the glucose. Maintaining balanced blood sugar levels is vital for health; levels that are too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia) can lead to health issues like diabetes or hypoglycemia. Regular monitoring helps manage these levels and supports overall well-being.
