Most foods are carbohydrate-rich‚ and without your knowledge‚ you may have been putting too much of these foods into your body. Hence‚ high blood glucose is very common but in certain individuals causes low blood glucose. You already knew that carbohydrates are a primary energy source to keep your body functioning properly.

that affects how the body uses glucose‚ a sugar that is the body’s main source of fuel. There are two types of diabetes; Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetes is when the pancreas cannot make any insulin. The body’s immune system attacks the pancreas and destroys insulin making cells. Type 2 diabetes is the most common diabetes out of the two. Type 2 diabetes is when the pancreas still produces insulin‚ but the body does not react normally to the insulin made. The glucose is not as able to enter the cells

1. The normal fasting glucose level is From 70 to 99 mg/dL . The fasting blood glucose level‚ which is measured after a fast of 8 hours‚ is the most commonly used indication of overall glucose homeostasis‚ largely because disturbing events such as food intake are avoided. It is often the first test done to check for prediabetes (From 100 to 125 mg/dL ) and diabetes (126 mg/dL and above). 2. CB’s fasting blood sugar is 141mg/dl and cholesterol is 225 mg/dl which is higher than the normal range

diagnosed by a fasting blood glucose level test (where diabetes is diagnosed if the result is higher than 126mg/dL) because the disease is marked by high levels of glucose in the blood. Patients with type 2 diabetes have insulin resistance‚ which means fat‚ liver and muscle cells incorrectly respond to insulin (Googlehealth‚ 2010)‚ which is why‚ in addition to the fasting blood glucose level test‚ a fasting blood insulin test was also conducted. The result of the fasting blood glucose level test was

is a disease that affects how the body uses blood glucose‚ or blood sugar. Blood glucose is vital to health because it is an essential source of energy for cells of the muscles and other tissues as well as the brain’s fuel (Mayo Clinic‚ 2011). Individuals that suffer from diabetes have difficulty regulating and maintaining healthy blood glucose levels. If an individual is diagnosed with diabetes‚ no matter type‚ he or she has too much glucose. Some genetic factors do play a role in an individual’s

blood glucose (hyperglycemia) (fasting blood sugar (FBS > 126 mg/dl‚ or blood glucose >200 mg/dl 2 h after a meal). Diabetes mellitus characterized by hyperglycemia because of a defect in the secretion of the insulin from the pancreas‚ frequently coexists with insulin resistance. Hyperglycemia happens due to uncontrolled glucose output in hepatic and decrease uptake of glucose by skeletal muscle with reduced glycogen synthesis.
