glucose control

Glucose control refers to managing blood sugar levels within a healthy range. The body uses insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, to help cells absorb glucose from the blood for energy or storage. Proper control involves balancing food intake, physical activity, and medication if needed, to prevent blood sugar from becoming too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia). Maintaining good glucose control reduces the risk of complications like nerve damage, eye problems, and cardiovascular disease, especially for individuals with diabetes. Monitoring blood sugar regularly helps adjust lifestyle and treatment to keep levels stable and healthy.
