Let’s focus on health a little. We will not talk about money but health as we close the week. After all I am also a health blogger as a nutrition coach.
The blood glucose level is the amount of glucose in the blood. Glucose is a sugar that comes from the foods we eat, and it’s also formed and stored inside the body. It’s the main source of energy for the cells of our body, and it’s carried to each cell through the bloodstream(kidshealth.org)
Hyperglycemia (pronounced: hi-per-gly-SEE-me-uh) is the medical word for high blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels happen when the body either can’t make insulin (type 1 diabetes) or can’t respond to insulin properly (type 2 diabetes). The body needs insulin so glucose in the blood can enter the cells of the body where it can be used for energy. In people who have developed diabetes, glucose builds up in the blood, resulting in hyperglycemia( kids Health.org)
Having too much sugar in the blood for long periods of time can cause serious health problems if it’s not treated. Hyperglycemia can damage the vessels that supply blood to vital organs, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve problems. These problems don’t usually show up in kids or teens who have had the disease for only a few years. But they can happen in adulthood in some people with diabetes, particularly if they haven’t managed or controlled their diabetes well.

What raises blood suga
Gum Disease
Gum disease (periodontitis) is extremely common. The CDC estimates that half of all American adults over age 30 have it. This gum infection may cause serious glucose changes in your blood, too. It raises blood sugar, and it may leave you more vulnerable to developing type 2 diabetes.

Dehydration
Dehydration can elevate your blood sugar so it is wise to stay well-hydrated. If you are sick, have diarrhoea and vomiting for more than two hours, or a prolonged illness lasting more than a few days, the illness may alter your blood sugar. Moreover, blood sugar rises as your body tries to fight any type of illness. Medications such as antibiotics and decongestants may alter your blood sugar. Check your blood sugar levels during these intermittent special situations so you can help determine how your body will react to these illnesses and treatments.
Stress
Stress may cause your body to release hormones that can make your blood sugar rise. This is more common in people with type 2 diabetes. Practice relaxation techniques with deep breathing and exercise, if you can, to reduce stress.
Bagels
Are bagels better than bread? Well, bagels are better at increasing sugar levels in the blood than bread because bagels are packed with carbohydrates and calories. If you’ve just got to have a bagel, choose a mini bagel, or a thin bagel. If you love your morning bagel, try and find healthy alternatives by discussing your diet preferences with a health care professional or dietician.
Dried Fruits
Although fruit is a healthy choice for most of us, people with diabetes should be aware dried fruits contain a large amount of carbohydrates in a small serving size. For example, two tablespoons of dried raisins, cranberries, or cherries have the same amount of carbohydrates as a small piece of fresh fruit. Three dried dates contain 15 g of carbohydrates so eating a handful or two of dried fruits may cause high spikes in blood glucose levels in many people.
Coffee and black tea
Caffeine content is high in these drinks
