Vereglükoosisisalduse

Vereglükoosisisalduse, also known as blood glucose level, refers to the concentration of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream. It is a crucial indicator of a person's overall health and is particularly important for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition. Glucose is the body's primary source of energy, and it is transported in the bloodstream to cells where it is used for various metabolic processes.

Normal blood glucose levels are typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Fasting blood glucose levels, measured after an overnight fast, are usually between 70 and 100 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.6 mmol/L). Postprandial (after-meal) blood glucose levels, measured 2 hours after eating, should be less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L). Higher levels may indicate diabetes or prediabetes.

Factors that can affect blood glucose levels include diet, physical activity, stress, and certain medications. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is essential for managing diabetes and preventing complications. If you suspect you have high blood glucose levels, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
