Mechanism of fasting hyperglycemia:

Raised blood sugar post prandial, delayed increased production of insulin due to most probably defect/abnormality of B cell pancreas, in turn, endogenic glucose production (gluconeogenesis, glucogenolysis) freely caused raised in fasting blood sugar.

How does gigantism lead to hyperglycemia?

Gigantism leads to the development of hyperglycemia because of an overproduction of the growth hormone. Presence of the growth hormone causes a shift from preferred carbohydrate (glucose) catabolism to lipid catabolism. The glucose is then left in the blood resulting in hyperglycemia.


Can pain medicine cause high blood sugar?

Research in 2006 and 2007 (USA and Canada) says nerve pain triggers diabetes and that inflammation (which usually accompanies pain) causes diabetes too. Arguably, hyperglycemia "is" diabetes. (And, arguably, it's not.) Most medics say hyperglycemia causes inflammation. But it happens the other way around too - ie. inflammation causes hyperglycemia. Chicken and egg thing. World Health Org says 'stress hyperglycemia' (non-diabetic hyperglycemia) lasts as long as the 'stress' lasts - and that includes physical stress - ie. pain. So - yes - it seems pain causes hyperglycemia (whether diabetes is present or not). Ergo: whatever condition is causing the pain, it's obviously better for long term health to cure it ASAP - while hyperglycemia may still be reversible. Medics say "but in a non-diabetic, insulin would reduce the hyperglycemia". Hum. But inflammation (and the pain that goes with it) also causes insulin-resistance. The insulin can't work properly because of the inflammation. Seems to me there's insufficient research in this area (and Lord knows I've looked).

Does using heroin cause hyperglycemia?

Yes. Heroin can cause hyperglycemia because heroin stimulates the sympathetic branch of the nervous system. This branch is responsible for the constricted pupils and fast heart rate you see in heroin overdose. The high blood sugar is due to the increased demands of the cells because the metabolic rate of the cells is increased. Therefore, the sympathetic nervous system stimulates the release of stored sugar from the liver and it enters the blood stream. This causes the hyperglycemia.
