Glucose Control

Meaning

Glucose Control is the physiological and clinical management of blood glucose concentrations within a narrow, healthy range to ensure optimal cellular energy supply and prevent metabolic pathology. This process is fundamentally regulated by the endocrine hormones insulin and glucagon, which mediate the uptake, storage, and release of glucose by peripheral tissues. Achieving tight control is essential for preventing insulin resistance and mitigating the long-term microvascular and macrovascular complications of hyperglycemia.
