Information on blood glucose health.
Our bodies need energy to function normally.
Not only physical activity, but sleeping, breathing and thinking all require energy for each organ to do its job. Glucose is the most efficient fuel for producing that energy, and red blood cells and brain cells in particular rely on glucose, which makes a steady supply all the more important.
That is why blood glucose needs to stay within a consistent range for the body to receive energy smoothly.
When glucose is high
Insulin
When glucose is low
Glucagon
The concentration of glucose in the blood is called blood glucose. It is kept within a steady range by two hormones produced in the pancreas: insulin and glucagon. Problems with the secretion or function of these hormones can lead to conditions such as diabetes.

Simple sugars that are absorbed quickly — such as fruit, sugar, honey and soft drinks — raise blood glucose sharply.
