What does hyperglycemia refer to?

  1. A condition with low blood sugar

  2. A condition with high blood sugar

  3. A digestive issue

  4. A mental health disorder

The correct answer is: A condition with high blood sugar

Hyperglycemia refers to a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels, which occurs when there is an insufficient amount of insulin in the body or when the body's cells become resistant to insulin. This condition is often associated with diabetes and can lead to various complications if left untreated, such as damage to blood vessels, nerves, and organs over time. Individuals experiencing hyperglycemia may exhibit symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision, among others. Understanding hyperglycemia is crucial for managing diabetes and ensuring appropriate interventions are taken to maintain blood sugar levels within a healthy range.
