Hyperglycemia
Patient was instructed If you eat more food than is balanced with your physical activity and, in some cases, diabetes medicines, your blood
glucose level may rise above your goal range. Carbohydrate-containing foods directly affect your blood
glucose level after eating, so reviewing the amount of carbohydrate in your meals and snacks may be helpful in determining the cause of hyperglycemia.
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. The American Diabetes Association does not recommend alcohol consumption, but it is interesting to note that moderate alcohol intake may reduce the risk of high blood
sugar.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Diabetes is currently a chronic disease with no cure. There is an exceptionally important role for patient education, diabetic support, self monitoring of blood
glucose with the goal of keeping it within acceptable bounds.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The basic defect in all patients with diabetes is the decreased ability of insulin to induce cells of the body to remove glucose (sugar) from the blood
.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. The blood
sugar can rise to an unsafe level if: Skipping a dose of pills for diabetes, or skipping a dose of insulin Eating too much food. Feeling a lot of stress. Being sick (such as a severe case of the flu) or having an infection, even if not eating a lot of food.
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. If dehydrated the body burns protein and fat rather than sugar for energy, causing acids and ketones to build up in your blood
. These ketones can be partially released into the urine. If ketoacidosis develops, emergency care is needed immediately to keep the condition from getting worse.
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. This disease occurs naturally during times of infections and inflammation. When the body id stressed, endogenous (that are part of the sympathetic nervous system) are released that serve to raise the blood
sugar levels.
