1. blood sugar

   Blood sugar, also known as glucose, is the main sugar found in your blood. It comes from the food you eat and is a crucial energy source for your body's cells. Your body regulates blood sugar levels to avoid levels becoming too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia) because both conditions can result in health problems. Blood sugar is typically measured to diagnose and monitor diabetes.

1. Blood Sugar

   The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose present in the blood of a human or animal. The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis. Glucose is the primary source of energy for the body's cells, and blood lipids are primarily a compact energy store. Glucose is transported from the intestines or liver to body cells via the bloodstream, and is made available for cell absorption via the hormone insulin, produced by the body primarily in the pancreas. The mean normal blood glucose level in humans is about 5.5 mM; however, this level fluctuates throughout the day. Glucose levels are usually lowest in the morning, before the first meal of the day, and rise after meals for an hour or two by a few millimolar. The normal blood glucose level for non-diabetics, should be between 70 and 100 milligrams per deciliter. Blood sugar levels for those without diabetes and who are not fasting should be below 125 mg/dL. The blood glucose target range for diabetics, according to the American Diabetes Association, should be 70–130 before meals, and less than 180 mg/dL after meals.

Examples of blood sugar in a Sentence

1. Maya Adam:

   Whole food carbohydrates take longer to break down into simple sugars, and a part of them — the fiber — ca n’t be broken down at all, this means that whole, intact grains do n’t cause the same spikes in blood sugar that we experience when we eat simple sugars. Blood sugar spikes trigger insulin spikes, which can destabilize our blood glucose and … be the underlying cause of health problems in the long run.

2. Melina Jampolis:
