For most people, good blood sugar levels are:
Insulin decrease glucose level.Glucogon increase glucose level.
i have a blood glucose level of 116 is that high
It rises. 2 hours after eating a diabetics blood sugar level should be lower that 180.
Breakfast is derived from the words break and fast: Your last meal is usually dinner... therefore you are fasting until you eat again, which is at breakfast, when you break your fast (stop fasting).
The hormonal response to decrease in blood glucose is glucagon.... which actually increases the blood glucose level...
Glucose in the blood is converted to glycogen due to the actions of insulin. Glycogen is insoluble, so it doesn't affect the osmotic balance in the cytoplasm of our muscle and liver cells.Glycogen is stored in the liver and it is released into the blood stream if the flood glucose level drops, if at fasting or after many hours of food intake.
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.
Blood glucose levels will rise steadily for about two hours after you eat (can be shorter for some people), at that point it will level out and remain the same for a short time. After about three hours from when you last ate, it will begin to dip again. In diabetics, this blood glucose level will climb higher than normal--this is the reason diabetics (some) take insulin. the insulin in the blood is what helps the metabolization of glucose, which causes it to fall. Diabetics may not experience that decline of blood glucose.
Blood glucose is the level of sugars in the blood. Some glucose sugar in the blood is normal, however lower or higher than normal levels can indicate medical issues, particularly diabetes
You can check your glucose level at any one of the drug stores. Walgreens has a glucose machine and you can check your glucose level, blood pressure and cholesterol level.
HYPERGLYCEMIA. because epinephrine increases the blood glucose level by increasing glycogenolysis.
The term used when a person has high levels of glucose circulating in the blood is Hyperglycemia. For someone who has low levels of glucose the term is Hypoglycemia.Hyperglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too high.Hypoglycemia- The term used when blood glucose levels are too low.The general term for a rapid loss or gain of glucose is 'glucose shock.'A fasting blood glucose level above 126 milligrams per deciliter is considered hyperglycemic. A blood glucose level of below 50 milligrams per deciliter is considered hypoglycemic.
