Definiția și Sensul lui "blood glucose"

What is "blood glucose"?

Blood glucose refers to the amount of sugar, also known as glucose, present in the blood. Glucose is a main source of energy for the body’s cells. Measuring blood glucose levels helps to monitor and manage conditions like diabetes, where the body has trouble controlling blood sugar levels. Blood glucose tests can be performed after not eating for a period of time or at random times, depending on the purpose. Consistently high or low levels can indicate problems with blood sugar control and help doctors in diagnosing and managing diabetes and other related conditions.
