EDITOR'S PICK

The blood sugar concentration or blood glucose level is the amount of glucose (sugar) present in the blood of a human or animal. Normally, in mammals the body maintains the blood glucose level at a reference range between about 3.6 and 5.8 mM (mmol/L, ie, millimoles/liter) (64.8 and 104.4 mg/dL). It is tightly regulated as a part of metabolic homeostasis

Glucose is the primary source of energy for body's cell, lipids (in the form of fats and oils) being primarily a compact energy store. It is transported from the intestines or liver to body cells via the bloodstream, and is absorbed by body cells with the intervention of the hormone insulin normally produced by the body.

Dr.Machelle Seibel, MD

A. Estrogen does not usually have an effect on blood sugar. It can affect your thyroid hormone and that is something you can have your doctor check. However, just having gone through a hysterectomy, your body is still likely getting used to this very big change. It is good that you are not overweight.
