Blood sugar
Blood sugar (glucose) is the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is a source of energy that keeps the body healthy. The organs, brain, digestion, as well as the muscles need this energy to function properly. Normally, the body regulates its blood sugar (glucose) very precisely. When people with healthy blood sugar have eaten a meal, blood sugar rises and insulin starts to do its job. The insulin causes the sugar (glucose) to be burned into energy. Just before eating, therefore, the glucose level will be somewhat lower, but immediately after eating the value is higher.

How does excessive blood sugar (diabetes) occur?
When the body is unable to remove glucose from the body, diabetes occurs. People with diabetes no longer make insulin, the hormone that regulates glucose metabolism, increasing the risk of high blood sugar. Sufficient exercise improves the action of insulin and keeps blood sugar healthy. The more muscle mass is in the body, the more glucose the body can process. The more fat mass the less likely insulin can do its job. Being overweight, lack of exercise, heredity, smoking and high blood pressure increase the risk of diabetes.
How is blood sugar measured?
With just one finger prick, glucose levels in the blood are determined. In addition, we look at the employee's risk of developing worsened glucose regulation. This includes looking at lifestyle choices and physical measurements.
What are the benefits?
This test shows your blood sugar level. If it is too high, it may indicate pre-diabetes or diabetes. Although diabetes is a common disease, some people don't know they have it because they have no noticeable symptoms. Knowing more about your blood sugar levels can help you start treatment, if necessary, or make preventive lifestyle changes to avoid worsening. It is important to note that while this test provides valuable information, it is not a substitute for a comprehensive medical examination. Always consult a health care provider for a thorough evaluation of your health and personalized advice.
