GlossaryBlood Glucose

refers to sugar concentration in the bloodstream

Blood glucose, also known as blood sugar, refers to the concentration of glucose present in the blood. It is a crucial energy source for the body's cells and is tightly regulated by hormones such as insulin and glucagon. Maintaining proper blood glucose levels is essential for metabolic health, and imbalances can lead to conditions like diabetes.
