Blood
sugar - what's normal?
Under normal circumstances, your body does a remarkable job
of keeping your blood sugar (in the form of glucose) stable. Usually your body
releases a hormone called insulin, produced by your pancreas, in response to
rises in blood sugar. Your body's cells need glucose as fuel to allow them to
function. Insulin acts as a 'key', opening the door of your cells to allow in
glucose. Another hormone helps raise your blood sugar if it gets too low.
as given above in the table anything more than upper limit is called as diabetes. and diabetes is diagnosed based on raised BGL .
