Blood sugar, or glucose, is an important energy source for the body. The blood sugar level indicates how much glucose is in your blood, and this amount changes constantly. Various factors, such as food, drink, exercise, stress, and emotions, influence blood sugar levels.

When fluctuations are too large, you may suffer from blood sugar levels that are too high or too low (hyper or hypo). This can affect your mood, concentration, and energy levels. Too many hypos and hypers can also cause long-term damage, for example to the eyes and the cardiovascular system.

A stable blood sugar level is therefore relevant to your overall health and energy balance. Fortunately, there is a lot you can do yourself. A balanced lifestyle and the right nutrition can contribute to maintaining a stable blood sugar level.

A healthy lifestyle and a varied, balanced diet are important.
