When the test is taken at morning on fasting, 12 hours after the last meal, and the test shows a number higher than 110 mg/dl, it may be not high, but it is above the normal level. If the result is 120/130 mg/dl, for example, then it's time to consult a medical doctor.

What is Abnormally high concentration of glucose in the blood called?
Hyperglycemia
How can one tell when glucose has a high concentration?
Blood sugar test.
Which term describes an abnormally high concentration of glucose in the blood?
Hyperglycemia.
What chemical substance does diabetes produce?
The consequence of diabetus is a high blood glucose concentration.
When the pancreas detects a high concentration of sugar in the blood it releases?
glucagon.
What chemical that is responsible for the decrease in blood glucose concentration is released by?
Insulin is the hormone responsible for decreasing blood glucose concentration. It is released by the beta cells of the pancreas in response to high blood glucose levels, allowing cells to take up glucose for energy production.
Is there the same concentration of glucose when blood goes into the muscle and when it comes out?
Muscle requires glucose, and so there is not the same concentration of glucose in blood entering and exiting a muscle. The exiting blood will be lower in glucose.
Which organ monitors concentration of glucose in the blood?
The pancreas monitors blood glucose levels through specialized cells called beta cells located in the islets of Langerhans. These cells secrete the hormone insulin in response to high blood glucose levels to regulate and maintain glucose concentration within a normal range.
What chemical is responsible for the decrease in blood glucose concentration is released by?
Insulin is the hormone responsible for decreasing blood glucose levels. It is released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels, helping to regulate glucose in the body.
What happens to the concentration of the blood glucose if not enough insulin is produced?
If not enough insulin is produced, the concentration of blood glucose will increase because insulin is responsible for helping glucose enter cells to be used for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose remains in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels, a condition known as hyperglycemia.
Is blood the higher concentration of glucose?
Yes
Normally when the concentration of glucose in the blood falls below a certain level stored glucose reenters the blood until the original concentration of blood glucose is part of the process known as?
This process is known as glycogenolysis, where stored glycogen in the liver is broken down into glucose and released into the blood to maintain blood glucose levels.
