Hyperglycaemia, or 'hyper', occurs when blood glucose levels are too high, usually over 11 mmol/L, when the blood glucose measurement is taken 1-2 hours after a meal.
Hyperglycaemia occurs when there is too little insulin in the blood. It can lead to ketoacidosis, a condition in which acetone-like substances called ketones are excreted in the urine.
Hyperglycaemia and ketoacidosis can happen if you stop taking insulin, you reduce your insulin dose, or if your sensitivity to insulin decreases.
Periods of illness, such as urinary or respiratory tract infections, are times when hyperglycaemia can easily occur.
Hyperglycaemia and ketoacidosis are typically present when you first discover that you have type 1 Diabetes.
Hyperglycaemia can be caused by:
- Too little insulin
Did you skip the last dose or give too little? - Too much food
Did you over-eat during the last few hours? - Exercise
Did you forget to do or change the time? - Stress or illness
Are you getting ill? Under unusual pressure? Going through a difficult or exciting emotional experience?
When signs of hyperglycaemia appear, it is important to take immediate action.
Symptoms of hyperglycaemia include:
- Extreme thirst and dehydration
- Extreme tiredness and drowsiness
- Stomach cramps
- Dry and flushed skin
- Frequent urination
- Rapid and deep breathing
- Fruity breath odour (acetone-like breath)
But others get no signal at all. Remember you can run a quick blood glucose test at any time, just to check things out.
If your blood glucose is high and your urine shows ketones, contact your doctor immediately.
