A high blood sugar level (hyperglycemia) is when the level of glucose in your blood sugar is too high, for example if i tested my blood sugar (I have Diabetes) and i was 15.7 I would have to take a correction dose to bring it down to its normal range of between 4-10 (I person without diabetes should be in the range of 4-7)

Because glucose is not the only molecule required for respiration, oxygen is also needed, if the amount of glucose was increased indefinatly then the amount of oxygen would decrease rapidly until there is no longer enough. Anaerobic respiration will continue to occur even without oxygen, however, this produces ethanol (in yeast) as a biproduct, when the concentration of ethanol becomes too high, the yeast die.
