Fasting Blood Sugar Level: The level of glucose rises soon after eating, but it returns to normal within 1 to 2 hours. Blood sugar level is also termed blood glucose level range. It is the amount of glucose in the blood stream of the person. It also termed serum glucose level.

The level of sugar after around 2 hours is termed level after-meals. Researches have revealed that after meals the level of glucose in the blood of the diabetics could become more than double even if it was normal before eating.

High Blood Sugar: The reading of blood glucose is high in the early morning because of the secretion of different hormone. Generally these hormones are corticosteroids and growth hormones. This is a reaction that is termed Dawn phenomenon. The sugar value of the person may shoot up very high if the body of the person starts to release some sugar to counteract the low-level of blood sugar. This is termed Somogyi effect.

The reading if falls below 45 mg/dl then it is termed a serious abnormality of glucose levels.

Symptoms of High Blood Sugar: The value of blood glucose that is slightly above the safe range makes the person feel tired as well as thirsty. The person feels hungry, sweat and feels anxious and weak. The heart of the person starts to pound in the chest.

If the range of blood glucose stays high for several weeks then the body starts to adjust with this increased level of blood glucose and then does not give any signs. So it is extremely important to control blood glucose.

Blood Glucose Concentration: The normal blood glucose level should be in the range of 70 mg/dl to 150 mg/dl

Blood Glucose Testing: The reading of glucose in blood test measures the capability of the body to process sugar in blood. Some tests are used to diagnose the onset of diabetes or even prediabetes. Low-level of blood sugar is termed hypoglycemia; it makes the person feel sick.

Maintenance and monitoring of level of sugar in blood is important for the diabetics.
