The presence of glucose in the blood can be termed Glycemia. If it became unusually high concentration, it is called Hyperglycemia; if it is unusually low concentration, it is called Hypoglycemia.

The hypoglycemic condition leads to the symptoms like blurred vision, palpitation, sudden mood change, fatigue, headache, shivering, loss of consciousness, seizure, or even coma and may lead to death if not treated well. The test may reveal the glucose level to be less than or equal to 70 mg\/dl.<\/p>\n<p>If the blood sugar level gets raised unusually due to the metabolic problem, the person can lead to <a title=\"Ayurvedic treatment for diabetes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ayurvedicvillage.com\/diabetes-treatment\/\">Diabetic<\/a>. For normal persons, PPBS &gt;140 mg\/dl is termed Hyperglycemia. For diabetic patients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Early diabetic: &gt; or equal to 180 mg\/dl<\/li>\n<li>Established diabetic: &gt; or equal to 200 mg\/dl<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It may show symptoms like headache, blurred vision, urine frequency and urgency, fatigue, <a title=\"ayurvedic skin treatment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ayurvedicvillage.com\/skin-diseases-treatment\/\">regular skin rashes<\/a> and slow-healing ulcers.
