What are your blood sugars?
Sugars start with food.
Food gives you energy.
So you can do things you like.
The energy in food is in sugar and carbs.
Now.
There is sugar in food.
You eat the food. The sugar is now in your tummy.
Your body moves the sugar in your tummy into your blood.
These are your blood sugars.
Your blood moves the sugar all around your body.
But
The energy in the sugar is locked.
Insulin does not work properly for some people.
Some people with diabetes need to take insulin.

Blood sugars that are not unlocked by insulin stay in your blood.
This can cause high blood sugar.
Keep your blood sugars in range.
