High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is caused when there is too much glucose present in the blood. It is a fairly common occurrence for people with Diabetes and indicates that your body is not producing insulin properly.

People with high blood sugar can suffer from a range of symptoms. They may become excessively thirsty, need to urinate frequently, and feel overly tired.

Hyperglycemia can be brought on by stress or an unhealthy diet. Exercise may help lower high blood sugar but should be avoided if ketones are present in the urine. If hyperglycemia is untreated, it can lead to ketoacidosis, or diabetic coma.
