Blood Sugar
Blood sugar, or glucose, is the main type of sugar found in the blood. It comes from the food we eat and is a vital source of energy for our cells.
When blood sugar levels are too high or too low, it can be dangerous. That's why it's important to keep an eye on your blood sugar levels and to know how to manage them.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children, while type 2 diabetes is more common in adults. While there is no cure for either type of diabetes, both can be managed through lifestyle changes and medication.
If you have diabetes, it's important to monitor your blood sugar levels. This can be done with a simple finger-prick test.
You can also use a continuous glucose monitor, which is a small device that you wear under your clothes. This monitors your blood sugar level continuously and sends the data to a receiver that you carry with you.
If your blood sugar levels are too high, you may need to take insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body to use glucose for levels of energy. It is usually taken as an injection or a pump.
If your blood sugar levels are too low, you may need to eat or drink something that contains sugar, such as fruit juice or candy. You should also check your blood sugar levels more frequently when they are low.
By taking care of yourself, you can help to keep your blood sugar levels under control and prevent serious health problems.
