What concentration of glucose causes glycosylation?
Hemoglobin is glycosylated at any concentration, even normal blood sugar levels. This is why there is a "normal" hemoglobin A1c range. The problem comes when there is an elevated blood glucose. The problem is with the elevated blood glucose, not that there is an elevated Hgb A1c. The A1c is only a marker and a way for physicians to measure the average blood glucose over the past 120 days.
Which hormone is released from the pancreas when blood glucose is elevated above a normal range?
insulin
Is diabetes mellitus a chronic condition of elevated blood glucose levels?
Hi!! Yes. Diabetes is a chronic condition of elevated blood glucose levels. Diabetes is caused due to Insulin deficiency or Insulin resistance or both. We require insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal. Once you have insulin resistance or deficiency you require anti diabetic medicines or Insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal.
What does GLUCOSE mean in a blood test?
It is the glucose level (the amount of it) in your blood. Added 2/17/11: Glucose, which can also be listed as GLU on a lab report, is a chemical name for SUGAR. The normal level of glucose / sugar in your blood should stay between 70 - 110. Blood glucose levels that stay elevated above 125 over a period of time could mean that you have a disease called diabetes.
Is borderline diabetes also known as type 2?
No, borderline diabetes is termed prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. It indicates that your body, for whatever reason (most commonly insulin resistance or inadequate secretion of insulin) has elevated levels of glucose that does not qualify as "diabetic" levels. This may progress to diabetes in time, or the glucose levels may return to normal.
What is is a glucose?
Normal glucose is 90-110 mg/dl
Explain how the blood sugar gets back to normal from being low?
Your blood sugar will become low once you are fasting, and when that happens the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans will allow glucogen to be release. Glucogen promotes the conversions of glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood. As glycogen is converted to glucose in the liver the blood sugar level returns to normal.
What is a normal range of glucose fluctuation?
It is normal for glucose levels to fluctuate a little bit throughout the day. Your glucose levels should increase after you eat then drop down again. It is not normal for your glucose levels to fluctuate widely throughout the day. A normal range is approximately 70-125 mg/dL.
Is 257 glucose reading is normal?
No! 257 is not normal! 100 to90 is normal
What is normal glucose levels?
Glucose levels are different for different times. There are 3 glucose tests that are given. One is a fasting test, where your glucose levels are tested after fasting. Normal fasting blood glucose level is less than 100 mg of glucose per dl of blood.
I'm looking for a simple chart to show normal blood glucose levels...?
