Glucose - a vital component for the person responsible for the stable operation of the body. Unfortunately, some "glitches" in it, leading to an increase in glucose (sugar) in the blood. On the one hand, this is not a reason to immediately put a "diagnosis" - the increase in sugar for a few mM does not represent much of a threat - it is only one of the signals.
But if the norm is exceeded several times (in this case, the diagnosis is "diabetes"), the consequences can be very severe and sometimes irreversible.
