The metabolism of carbohydrates is regulated by a variety of hormones and other molecules. Some of these have already been mentioned in previous sections. The proper functions of the body are dependent on precise control of the glucose concentration in the blood. The normal fasting level of glucose in the blood is 70-90 mg/100 ml. If the concentration of glucose in blood is too high (above 120 mg/100 mL) a condition known as hyperglycemia results. Hyperglycemia may temporarily exist as a result of eating a meal rich in carbohydrates. If the concentration of glucose is too low (below 70 mg/100 ml) a condition of hypoglycemia exists.
