HEALTHY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS
A. Definition of Healthy Blood Sugar
Maintaining a healthy blood sugar level is essential for overall health and well-being. Blood sugar, or glucose, is the main source of energy for the body and is derived from the carbohydrates we eat. The body maintains a healthy blood sugar level by using a combination of hormones, insulin, and glucose. A healthy blood sugar level is considered to be between 70 and 100 milligrams (mg) when fasting and 140 mg or lower two hours after a meal. If a person’s blood sugar is too low or too high, it can lead to serious health problems.
