Hyperglycemia is a medical term indicating elevated blood sugar levels and it has many causes, one of it being Diabetes mellitus.
Few education programmes and patient support groups are there from American Diabetes Association.
High sugar levels causes blood vessel damage, vascular remodelling leading to increased peripheral artery resistance. Also, body fluid volume increases in response to insulin resistance-induced hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Both increased peripheral vascular resistance and body fluid volume lead to increase in systemic blood pressure causing Hypertension.
1 gram of pure glucose will raise your blood sugar about 5 mg/dl, although it may vary with person's weight, Diabetes status and current blood sugar level.
