What are causes of high blood sugar?

Answer 1

You are eating too much sugar or lots of carbohydraes which are ultimately broken down into glucose ( sugar). Usually the pancreas is not producing enough insulin and the food choices are demanding too much insulin. Try exercise. It forces the blood sugar into the cells to metabolize the sugar.

There could be many causes for high blood sugar, especially if it is consistently high. It may be due to heredity; or it can be due to stress. It could be due to a consistently poor diet and lack of exercise. If you have high blood sugar, try to eat a balanced diet and get regular exercise. Even a brisk walk will help. If you have a family history of Diabetes, you may want to use a nutritional supplement like GlucoVert Blood Sugar Matrix which will provide nutrients that can help sustain healthy glucose levels.

Answer 2

Temporarily, eating sugar.

In the fasting condition it is a failure of cells to take up blood sugar,

this is a failure of insulin ... thus diabetes.

Commonly this comes in two forms :

an absolute lack of the drug (type 1 or juvenile onset),

or a failure of insulin to work (possibly autoimmune) (type 2 or adult onset).

Answer 3

what causes high glucose levels

Diabetes Mellitus can cause high glucose levels. It's certainly not the only thing that can do that, but it's probably the most common reason aside from blood glucose being elevated after a sugary meal.

Answer 4

Eating food naturally elevates blood glucose. (Some foods raise glucose higher, or faster, than others -- see "Glycemic Index" for which ones.)

Glucose is also elevated by certain hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine. And glucagon, released by the pancreas, can cause the liver to convert glycogen into glucose, also elevating blood glucose.

A diabetic will be unable produce enough insulin to quickly reduce these glucose levels, and so might go on for hours or days with elevated blood glucose. A healthy person will bring the level back to normal within about two to four hours.

Answer 5

A main reason is not getting enough insulin for the food you eat

Answer 6

Carbohydrates, sugar, and stress or sickness.

Too much lipids in the bloodstream also inhibit glucose being absorbed by the body's cells.

Answer 7

High blood sugar symptoms consist of a person being thirsty, a clammy feeling, sweating, an is dangerous to a diabetic person. These symptoms need to be evaluated by a doctor.

Answer 8

Hyperactive, shaky, headaches
