Description
  • The blood sugar level, blood sugar concentration, or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose present in the blood of humans and other animals. Glucose is a simple sugar and approximately 4 grams of glucose are present in the blood of humans at all times. The body tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis. Glucose is stored in skeletal muscle and liver cells in the form of glycogen;[2] in fasted individuals, blood glucose is maintained at a constant level at the expense of glycogen stores in the liver and skeletal muscle. [Wikipedia] \(\\\) There are two main methods of describing concentrations: by weight, and by molecular count. Weights are in grams, molecular counts in moles. A mole is \(6.022\times 10^{23}\) molecules.) In both cases, the unit is usually modified by \(milli-\) or \(micro-\) or other prefix, and is always \(per\) some volume, often a liter. Conversion factors depend on the molecular weight of the substance in question. \(\\\) \(mmol/L\) is millimoles/liter, and is the world standard unit for measuring glucose in blood. Specifically, it is the designated SI (Systeme International) unit. 'World standard' is not universal; not only the US but a number of other countries use mg/dl. A mole is about \(6\times 10^{23}\) molecules. \(\\\) \(mg/dL\) (milligrams/deciliter) is the traditional unit for measuring bG (blood glucose). There is a trend toward using \(mmol/L\) however mg/dL is much in practice. Some use is made of \(mmol/L\) as the primary unit with \(mg/dL\) quoted in parentheses. This acknowledges the large base of health care providers, researchers and patients who are already familiar with \(mg/dL|). (http://qudt.org/schema/qudt/LatexString)
