Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. When the blood sugar
level rises abovemg/dL, the kidneys will eliminate some of the extra sugar
through the urine. Along with sugar
, the kidneys release large amounts of fluid, which causes increased urination. If the blood sugar
level continues to rise and patient hasn
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. High blood sugar
develops when there is too little insulin or when the body fails to respond properly to the insulin in the blood
. High blood sugar
emergencies often develop because of some underlying condition that may not be obvious, such as a heart attack, infection, or surgery.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. If the body doesn't produce enough insulin (which occurs in people with type 1 diabetes and a few people with type 2 diabetes), blood sugar
levels may rise. This may cause high blood sugar
in the morning before the person eats.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. To prevent high blood sugar
emergencies, treat infections early. Untreated infections (such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and skin infections) can increase the risk for a high blood sugar
emergency.
SN instructed patient the main symptoms of hyperglycemia are increased thirst and a frequent need to urinate. Other symptoms that can occur with high blood sugar
are: headaches, tiredness. Drink more water. Water helps remove excess sugar
from your blood
through urine, and it helps you avoid dehydration.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. This disease causes high blood sugar
levels, especially in the morning before breakfast, in people with diabetes. It occurs when: Hormones produced by the body cause the liver to release large amounts of sugar
.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Drink plenty of liquids. If the blood sugar
levels are above the target range, drink extra liquids to replace the fluids lost through the urine. Waters and diet drinks are best. Avoid caffeinated drinks, alcohol, and soda pop and other liquids that contain a lot of sugar
.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The symptom of being frequently urinating is because the excess blood sugar
spills into the urine, meaning that as the blood

Patient was instructed on hyperglycemia. It is important to know that glucose levels vary before and after meals, and at various times of the day. Sustained high levels of blood sugar
cause damage to the blood
vessels and to the organs they supply, leading to the complications of diabetes.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Frequent hunger without other symptoms can also indicate that blood sugar
levels are too low. This may occur when people who have diabetes take too much oral hypoglycemic medication or insulin for the amount of food they eat.
