Critical blood sugar level

The level of glucose affects the normal functioning of the human body . For people who have constantly high or low blood sugar levels (5.9 mmol/l), the anxiety threshold may be different. With glucose concentration indicators of 6.1 mmol/l and above, depending on the age, gender and health of the person, a doctor’s consultation is required. 

What blood sugar level is considered critical?

It is very important not to allow a significant increase (7.6 mmol/l) or decrease (2.3 mmol/l) of the blood sugar level to critical values. Such indicators are averaged (conditional). The maximum level of glucose in the blood is individual and can differ significantly depending on the health characteristics of a particular person.

We recommend purchasing modern, easy-to-use sensors for diabetics Abbott Freestyle Libre or Dexcom, which allow you to continuously monitor blood sugar levels without the need to prick your fingers. Having such a device, you will be able to monitor glucose indicators around the clock and respond to their changes in a timely manner.
