What is Hyperglycemia? Causes, Symptoms, and Complications

Hyperglycemia is a medical condition characterized by consistently high levels of sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream. It is primarily associated with diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, but can also occur due to poor dietary choices, lack of physical activity, stress, certain medications, or illnesses. Symptoms of hyperglycemia include excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow wound healing. If left uncontrolled, it can lead to severe complications, including nerve damage (neuropathy), kidney problems (nephropathy), cardiovascular issues, and eye damage (retinopathy).
