Why do we need blood sugar?

Blood glucose is a sugar that the bloodstream carries to all cells in the body to supply energy. A person needs to keep blood sugar levels within a safe range to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Blood glucose monitoring measures the amount of sugar that the blood is transporting during a single instant.

People obtain this sugar from the diet. The human body regulates blood glucose levels so that they remain moderate: Enough glucose to fuel the cells, but not enough to overload the bloodstream.

The blood’s internal environment must remain stable to support vital bodily functions.

Blood glucose levels change throughout the day. After eating, levels rise and then settle after about an hour. They are at their lowest point before the first meal of the day.

What is a healthy blood sugar level?

A normal fasting blood sugar level should be below 99 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

In people with diabetes, the levels will change more. Instead of targeting a specific level, the aim of managing blood sugar is to keep the levels within a healthy range.

The American Diabetes Association recommend target levels of 70–130 mg/dL before eating for a person with diabetes. Within 2 hours of eating a meal, blood glucose levels should be less than 180mg/dL.
