Blood Glucose Values

When it comes to having diabetes, a diabetic patient must know their blood glucose value in order to live a long and healthy life. Diabetes is a very serious condition for all people ages. Diabetes condition is a very serious disease that is currently taking over our nation and the entire world by storm. Today’s sugar filled junk foods and the ability for diabetics to live longer lives and reproduce is only fuel to the already massive diabetic epidemic.

Diabetes is a serious condition where the person’s body is failing to get the required amounts of hormone called insulin. This absolutely necessary chemical/hormone called insulin is produced by the pancreas organ. For some unknown reasons to medicine the pancreas organ will stop or slow in the mass production of this vital chemical. This chemical hormone is used by the body to transform the blood sugar glucose in the bloodstream into a fuel that the cells are able to use for cell fuel. Without the proper amounts of this necessary sugar bonding component the blood glucose levels in the blood begin to rise to high levels. Once they reach a certain high sugar level the diabetics’ body begins to suffer major cell damage. The serious cell damage mostly happens with the high blood sugar levels is nervous cell damage, heart cell damage, kidney cell damage, and eye cell damages. But this can all be avoided if the diabetic patient can change their high blood sugar level and keep it at that lower sugar level. Is there a certain normal blood glucose value?

Do you have Normal Blood Glucose Values?

Normal blood glucose values are anywhere in the range of 80mg and 140 mg. If anything falls above 140 mg then a diabetic is considered to have high blood glucose or hypertension and if their readings fall below 80 mg then a person is considered to have hypotension.

What are fasting blood glucose levels?

Fasting Blood Glucose LevelsWhat are fasting blood glucose levels? For a common diabetic, fasting is a very important thing to know as it affects your entire life. For those who are caretakers of common diabetics this is also very important so that they can properly care for the diabetic. Diabetes is a condition that is becoming more and more common in today’s world, no wonder – due to the large amounts of sugar filled meals and snacks we eat.

Diabetes is also known as hyperglycemia, which stands for high blood glucose levels. When your diabetic body has diabetes the pancreas produces too little of the chemical known as Insulin, this chemical is used by the body to convert the blood sugar in the blood into energy that the body’s cells can use. When this chemical is too low the amount of sugar in the blood rises to dangerously high levels. This can cause serious damage to the diabetic body over time such as heart disease, eye failure, nerve damage, and kidney failure. But all of this can be avoided if you keep your blood sugar levels at a healthy level.

In order to keep a fasting blood glucose levels you should buy a small unit called a blood glucose meter. This small unit is used to measure the amount of glucose (sugar) in your blood. The units are small enough to be held in your hand and easy to read. The glucose units use small plastic strips with special chemicals inside them to help measure the blood sugar. First a small amount of blood is inserted to a small opening in the plastic strip. (The blood is drawn using a special needle known as a lancet) The plastic strip is inserted into the meter and the meter measures it and displays the results on a small screen on the side. These small units are very cheap and can even be gotten for free if need be. The fasting for blood glucose levels amount are 64.8 mg/dl to 120 mg/dl. A person with diabetes will have their blood sugar way higher that so they must keep it in check. Also talk to your doctor about keeping fasting blood glucose levels.

A normal range of blood sugar level is anywhere between 80 mg/dl to 140mg/dl. The amounts that diabetics have are way above the normal 140 mg/dl.
