If these levels are too high, metabolic consequences can occur which can lead to damage to the kidneys, arteries, and other body systems. High blood glucose levels also usually reflect that the cells are not being able to take in the glucose and therefore are not getting the energy they need for normal function. When we speak about blood sugar, we are not talking about the same type of sugar as you find as table sugar. Blood sugar is glucose, a simple sugar that others can be broken down into.
