blood sugar control
Regulating glucose levels
Blood sugar control is the body's regulation of glucose levels in the bloodstream, or deliberate efforts to manage those levels.
For diabetics, blood sugar control involves monitoring, diet, exercise, and often medication: Her blood sugar control has improved since she started the new insulin regimen.
Good control prevents complications; poor control causes them.
