Too Much Blood Sugar – Or Too Little

The way the body works is largely a matter of keeping the organs and tissues in a pretty constant environment inside the body. Anything, for example, that makes the level of sugar (glucose) in your blood fall below normal, or rise above normal, is promptly followed by actions that restore it to its original level. These actions are controlled partly by the nervous system but chiefly by the hormones. If for any reason the control mechanisms are not working properly, you will have an excessive amount of sugar in the blood, or a deficient amount, for part or all of the time. The condition of a high blood sugar is called hyperglycaemia, and that of a low blood sugar, hypoglycaemia.
