Blood sugar is the level of glucose in the blood. Diabetes is the main blood sugar disorder. It is characterized by an excessively high fasting blood glucose level (hyperglycemia). It can have different causes, so that we distinguish between type I diabetes, type II diabetes and gestational diabetes (more information at the bottom of the page). Beyond genetic predispositions, being overweight and being sedentary are risk factors for diabetes. Diet is an important lever in the prevention of this pathology.
