Frequently asked question: How much glucose is there in your blood?

To minimize the burden of diabetes, you should try to keep your blood sugar between 4 and 10 mmol / l ( between 72 and 180 mg /d L).
That is not so easy, especially with children, the blood sugar rate fluctuates often because you grow and consume a lot of energy (= glucose) at different moments during the day. Eating, playing, exercising and other physical activities also cause fluctuations. That is why you should regularly measure your blood sugar.
