Blood sugar rises after meals, drops during activity, and keeping it in a healthy range is key to preventing diabetes and other health problems.
Long-term uncontrolled blood sugar can have serious effects on the body. High glucose levels can damage vital organs, the eyes, and even teeth and gums. People with diabetes are at higher risk for heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, nerve damage, vision problems, and dental issues. Poor circulation and neuropathy can also lead to foot infections that heal poorly and, in severe cases, may result in amputation. These risks highlight the importance of maintaining healthy blood sugar levels and following proper management strategies.
