Chronic exposure to hyperglycemia can lead to cellular dysfunction that may become irreversible over time, a process that is termed glucose toxicity. Our perspective about glucose toxicity as it ...

Age is just one of the many factors that can impact glucose levels. Children, adolescents, adults, and older adults may have different blood sugar goals. Share on Pinterest Getty Images/RichLegg ...

Insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreatic beta cells, is a crucial factor involved in this response to rising blood sugar levels. Small but sustained elevations in blood glucose concentrations ...

For example, beta cells secrete insulin in response to increased blood glucose levels, and this stimulates cells to take up glucose, an essential step in energy homeostasis. In contrast ...

StatStrip Glucose/Ketone* measures blood beta-hydroxybutyrate, the preferred ketone for diagnosing ketoacidosis As per Diabetes UK, ADA, European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology and others ...

Blueberry LeavesBlueberry leaves contain powerful antioxidants like flavonol glycosides and chlorogenic acid, which may help regulate blood glucose levels and support pancreatic beta cell function.

Increased levels of glucose in the circulation lead to increased glucose uptake into pancreatic beta cells through GLUT2, a glucose transporter. Increased intracellular glucose then leads to ...
