PRE-DINNER BLOOD SUGAR

Glucose, essential for powering the body’s cells, including the brain, demands a consistent blood glucose level. Post-meal, blood glucose rises, prompting insulin release from the pancreas. Insulin facilitates glucose transport to cells, fueling energy production through processes like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. Diabetes results from a glucose-insulin imbalance. Type-1 diabetes arises when auto-antibodies destroy pancreatic beta cells, impeding insulin production. Type-2 diabetes involves insulin resistance and reduced insulin production. Other types include gestational diabetes and juvenile diabetes. Hypro Diagnostics can leverage the glucose tolerance test, providing a detailed blood glucose chart pre- and post-meals for comprehensive metabolic health insights.
