Managing blood sugar is a critical aspect of diabetes management. The higher the blood sugar levels are, the tougher does the challenge of diabetes treatment and management becomes. Unfortunately, despite the crucial nature of this topic, the awareness level about hyperglycemia is quite low. It is about time more voices discussed this matter! Raising awareness about hyperglycemia is the goal of this discussion as well. Not only do we talk about the dangerous and the normal levels of blood sugar, but we also talk about these levels can be controlled. Lots to learn from this discussion, we can promise you that! 

High blood sugar or hyperglycemia is one of the major concerns for all diabetic patients whether they are type 1 or type 2 diabetic. Higher blood sugar levels are bad news because of several reasons. For one, they can cause damage to your nerves and blood vessels. For another, they can lead to conditions like ketoacidosis, which refers to the build-up of acids in the blood. Type 1 diabetes patients are more prone to such conditions.

Don’t let this think you for a moment that type 2 diabetics are safe from threats of hyperglycemia. If anything, the consequences are even more dreadful. Type 2 patients are at risk of a condition called a hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome. This is a deadly condition in which the patient cannot process high blood sugar levels. Symptoms of this disease include frequent urination, dark urine, and severe dehydration.
