Blood glucose / sugar is the main energy giving source in your body. It comes from the food you eat and is carried by blood to all the cells to use for its various functions. If sugar rises in your blood, you suffer from Diabetes which can be Type 1 or Type 2 or Prediabetes. A reading of 126 mg/dL in a fasting state or greater than 200 mg/dL after 2 hours of eating or glucose drink is considered diabetic.
