Blood glucose is a sugar that is broken down from carbohydrates in the food you eat and carried by the blood to cells for energy.
Testing your fasting glucose will measure the level of glucose in your blood when it should be at its lowest and is recommended in the morning when no food or drink has been consumed for at least 8 hours prior.
Glucose is carried to the body’s cells for energy. It can be used immediately or stored for later use.
As the mitochondria in the cells burn glucose as their main fuel supply, glucose/blood sugar levels in the blood decrease.
High blood glucose/blood sugar can damage the capillaries in your kidneys, causing them to lose their function.
Elevated glucose levels can also be due to a lack of insulin production in the body to regulate glucose levels, an indication of diabetes.
