HYPERGLYCEMIA

Hyperglycemia

Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. This is generally a glucose level higher than 11.1 mmol/l, but symptoms may not start to become noticeable until even higher values such as 15–20  mmol/l . A subject with a consistent range between 100 and 126 is considered hyperglycemic, while above 126 mg/dl or 7 mmol/l is generally held to have diabetes. Chronic levels exceeding 7 mmol/l can produce organ damage.
