Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia is a condition characterized by an unusually high level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. This often occurs in people with diabetes when the body either doesn't produce enough insulin—a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar—or cannot effectively use it. Symptoms may include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. If left untreated, chronic hyperglycemia can lead to serious health issues, such as heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems. Managing blood sugar levels through diet, exercise, and medication is crucial for those at risk.
