A baby often accompanies its mother on hunts, riding along on her back, and possums and their babies are regularly spotted around garbage cans and near road kill. Know More.
Question:What is the normal range for blood sugar levels, and what blood sugar level constitutes a true emergency? Answer:Now, in a normal individual we measure blood sugar under different circumstances. What we call fasting blood sugar or blood glucose levels is usually done six to eight hours after the last meal. So it's most commonly done before breakfast in the morning; and the normal range there is 70 to 100 milligrams per deciliter. Now when you eat a meal, blood sugar generally rises and in a normal individual it usually does not get above a 135 to 140 milligrams per deciliter. So there is a fairly narrow range of blood sugar throughout the entire day.
If the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, the sugar can't enter the cells. It stays in the bloodstream causing high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia (diabetes). Normal blood sugar levels range from 80 to 120 mg of glucose per 100 cubic centimeters of blood. Anything above 160 mg or below 65 mg results in either high or low blood sugar (LBS) and is considered abnormal. In the case of LBS, hormones, such as glucagon, work to raise glucose levels. Other fight or flight, or counter regulatory hormones (epinephrine and norepinepherine) kick in when the body senses danger.
