Causes of Diabetics becoming Hyperglycemic

It's essential for diabetics to keep their blood sugar (glucose) levels stable. That means taking all medication as prescribed, and following a healthy lifestyle.

When blood glucose levels become too high, the medical condition is called hyperglycemia. The American Diabetes Association offers this list of potential causes:

• If you're a type 1 diabetic, getting insufficient insulin.
• If you're a type 2 diabetic, the insulin your body produces may not be processed effectively.
• Overeating or lack of exercise.
• Having an illness or infection.
• Being under emotional stress.
