The medical term "hyperglycemia" is the term used to describe an abnormally high glucose (sugar) count in the blood.
(Hyper- = increase of; glycerol/glycemic/glucose = sugar; -emia = of or pertaining to the blood.)
Additional Information:
Hyperglycemia can be a symptom of various conditions such as Diabetes mellitus, stress on the body systems after major organ damage (heart attack or stroke), sepsis (systemic reaction to severe infection), pre-diabetes, insulin resistance and it can also be a side effect of the use of some drugs, such as steroids.
Hypoglycemia is the opposite, when blood glucose levels are lower than ideal.
(Hypo- = under, below, beneath, deficient.)
