血糖是指血液中的葡萄糖。消化后的葡萄糖由小肠进入血液，并被运输到机体中的各个细胞，是细胞的主要能量来源。

国际标准单位是毫摩尔/升（mmol/l）。美国采用毫克/分升（ mg/dL）。由于葡萄糖分子C6H12O6是180 g/mol，所以1 mmol/L葡萄糖约等于18 mg/dL。

The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal. The body naturally tightly regulates blood glucose levels as a part of metabolic homeostasis.

With some exceptions, glucose is the primary source of energy for the body's cells, and blood lipids (in the form of fats and oils) are primarily a compact energy store. Glucose is transported from the intestines or liver to body cells via the bloodstream, and is made available for cell absorption via the hormone insulin, produced by the body primarily in the pancreas.
