About Glucose
Measures blood sugar levels, important for diabetes diagnosis and management.
The reasons for low GLU
Low glucose can result from fasting, insulin overuse, or adrenal insufficiency. Eating regularly helps maintain levels.
The reasons for elevated GLU
High glucose is caused by insulin resistance, diabetes, or high sugar intake. A low-carb diet helps regulate levels.
Is it bad too have too high/low GLU?
Severe hypoglycemia may cause confusion, fainting, or seizures if not addressed.
Chronically high glucose leads to diabetes complications, increasing risks of nerve damage, kidney failure, vision loss, and heart disease.
