Correct, glucose is a blood sugar.
When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps cells take up glucose from the blood, lowering blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which stimulates the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, raising blood glucose levels back to normal.
A fasting blood glucose of 137 is a concern. A random blood glucose of 137 is not a concern.
