The presence of glucose in the blood; the concentration of glucose circulating in the bloodstream (also spelled glycemia).
From Greek 'glykys' (sweet) + 'haima' (blood). This British spelling preserves the classical Greek root 'haima,' while the American variant 'glycohemia' uses a Latinized 'h' before the suffix.
Your glycohaemia is constantly changing—it's around 100 mg/dL when you're fasting, spikes after eating pasta, and drops if you run a marathon, but your body has multiple backup systems to keep it in the Goldilocks zone!
