High glucose x Low glucose

Glucose is a type of carbohydrate used as an energy source by living beings, and is one of the cell’s main nutrients.

This monosaccharide also participates in the formation of complex carbohydrates, such as starch.

High glucose, also called hyperglycemia, means that the blood sugar level is high.

Low glucose, or hypoglycemia, is the opposite.

That is, the sugar levels are low.

The normal range for blood glucose is from 70 mg/dl to 100 mg/dl.

The result that suggests diabetes, on the other hand, is higher than 126 mg/dl.
