Overview
Glucose, a simple sugar, is a primary energy source for the body's cells. Derived from carbohydrates in food, it enters the bloodstream and is regulated by insulin. Glucose fuels cellular activities, supporting metabolism. Imbalances, such as hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, can impact health, requiring careful monitoring and management. Synovial fluid glucose levels are normally similar to, or slightly lower than, blood sugar levels. A decrease in synovial fluid glucose can suggest infection in the joint.
