Glycaemia

Glycaemia is the level of glucose (the main source of the body’s energy) in the blood. Hypoglycaemia or a reduction of the glycaemia is expressed by losing consciousness and can be treated by administering sugar orally. Hyperglycemia or an increase of glycaemia is a characteristic sign of diabetes. It is thus treated by insulin injections and an adapted diet.
