It is 9 am in the morning and David has not eaten since dinner last night at 8 pm. He has fasted for 13 hours. He takes his first, or initial, blood glucose reading and it is 95 mg/dl. He then drinks an 8oz coke and eats 2 glazed donuts.
At 9:45 am, 45 minutes after his initial reading, he pricks his finger again and records a blood glucose level of 125 mg/dl. An hour later, at 10:45 am, he takes his final blood sugar reading and it is 108 mg/dl.

Diabetes is an infection that happens when your blood glucose, called sugar, is excessively high.
Blood glucose is your fundamental wellspring of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas, that assists glucose from food with getting into your cells to be utilized for energy.
