Blood Sugar

The sugar in blood sugar, called the vast majority of cases are glucose. Vivo cell activity for energy from glucose, so most of blood sugar must maintain a certain level in the body to maintain the organs and tissues of the need. Normal fasting blood glucose concentration in the morning for 80 ~ 120 mg %. Fasting blood sugar concentrations more than 130 mg % called high blood glucose levels. If blood sugar concentration super into 160 ~ 180 milligrams %, there is part of the glucose with urine, this is diabetes. Blood sugar concentration less than 70 mg % called hypoglycemia.

Basic overview

The blood sugar called blood sugar, the vast majority of cases are glucose (English abbreviations Glu). Vivo cell activity for energy from glucose, so most of blood sugar must maintain a certain level in the body to maintain the organs and tissues of the need. Normal blood sugar concentration on an empty stomach for 3.9 ~ 6.0 mmol/L. Fasting blood sugar concentrations more than 6.0 mmol/L called high blood glucose levels. Blood sugar concentration below 3.9 mmol/L called hypoglycemia, we get blood biochemical examination report generally write: glucose, or Glu.

Sugar is the body of one of our essential nutrients. People such as grains, fruits and vegetables intake, through the digestive system into simple sugars (such as glucose, etc.) into the blood and transported to the whole body, cells, as a source of energy. If not, then a consumption into glycogen stores in the liver and muscles, the liver can store 70 ~ 120 g sugar, accounting for about 6 to 10% of liver heavy. Cells can store of glycogen is limited, if intake of sugar, extra sugar that is too much change as fat.

When food is digested finished, stored glycogen will become the source of the sugar normal blood sugar concentration, maintain normal. In violent movement, or long time no supplementary diet, and use the glycogen. This time cells will decompose adipose to supply energy, fat 10% as glycerin, glycerin can be converted into sugar. The other parts of the fat can produce energy by oxidation, but its metabolic pathways and glucose is not the same.

The human brain and nerve cells must be sugar to survive and, when necessary, the human body will secrete hormone, some parts of the human body such as muscle and skin (even viscera), which destroy the protein into sugar, to survive. Like the past in pictures of those refugees to see all bony such as material, it is for this reason.

The human body is composed by A blood sugar the contradiction of hormone adjustment: they are insulin and glucagons, when feel in the blood of the blood glucose is low, islet cells secrete A glucagons, mobilize the liver glycogen reserves, released into the blood, blood sugar up; When in the blood of the high blood sugar feel insulin B cells secrete insulin, promote blood sugar into glycogen reserves or promote blood sugar into the organization cells.
