hyperglycemia management

Hyperglycemia management involves lowering high blood sugar levels to prevent complications. This includes taking prescribed insulin or medication as directed, monitoring blood sugar regularly, and adjusting diet by reducing carbohydrate intake. Staying hydrated helps flush excess sugar from the body. Physical activity, as encouraged by a healthcare professional, can also help lower blood sugar. If blood sugar remains very high or symptoms worsen—such as frequent urination, extreme thirst, or weakness—seeking medical care promptly is essential. Long-term control combines medication, diet, exercise, and regular check-ups to maintain blood sugar within a target range.
