Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia
Hyperglycemia happens when blood sugar levels are excessively high, above the targeted levels (above 7 mmol/L on an empty stomach, above 10 mmol/L after eating). This generally happens when the body doesn’t have enough insulin to regulate the amount of glucose in circulation in the body.Hyperglycemia happens when blood sugar levels are excessively high, above the targeted levels (above 7 mmol/L on an empty stomach, above 10 mmol/L after eating).

Causes
Hyperglycemia can be triggered by multiple factors, including lack of insulin, poor management of diet, stress, or other sicknesses. Understanding these triggers is important to prevent hypoglycemia.
Risks
Unmonitored hyperglycemia might have serious effects on one’s health, and progress into diabetic ketoacidosis.
