Glucose Dysregulation

Meaning

Glucose dysregulation is a broad clinical term describing any abnormality in the physiological processes responsible for maintaining glucose homeostasis, leading to either abnormally high or low blood glucose concentrations. This spectrum includes impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, and overt diabetes mellitus, all characterized by a compromised ability to effectively utilize or store glucose. It represents a fundamental metabolic imbalance with significant implications for cardiovascular, neurological, and hormonal health.
