Blood sugar levels

Blood sugar levels refer to the amount of glucose present in the bloodstream. Glucose is a key source of energy for the body's cells, derived from the food we eat. Normal blood sugar levels typically range from about 70 to 180 mg/dL, depending on when you last ate. Maintaining balanced blood sugar is crucial; too high (hyperglycemia) can lead to diabetes complications, while too low (hypoglycemia) can cause symptoms like dizziness and confusion. Regular monitoring is important for those with diabetes to ensure levels remain within a healthy range.
