hyperglycemia
Too much sugar
Hyperglycemia is abnormally high blood sugar, the defining feature of diabetes.
It occurs when the body produces insufficient insulin or can't use insulin effectively.
Symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, and fatigue.
Severe hyperglycemia can lead to diabetic coma.
The doctor warned that untreated hyperglycemia could damage her kidneys.
