Blood Sugar

Blood sugar is the level of glucose present in the blood. Glucose derives from the digestion of glycides and is essential for energy production.

The levels are relatively constant because they are assured by an adequate secretion of insulin (a hormone produced by the pancreas, essential for the use of glucose and for the control of blood sugar).

Levels are normally between 70 and 110 mg / dl in the fasted state and not above 140 mg / dl after a meal.
