How to Reduce Glucose Levels

Glucose provides energy to the body's cells. When a person has elevated levels of this monosacharide sugar, the body will respond with symptoms of confusion, heart palpitations, dizziness and the shakes. In extreme cases a person may pass out or go into a coma. The body received glucose via diet through starches and sugars. It is also produced during the fight or flight response to give the body an immediate energy boost to cope with a high-stress situation.
