Signs And Symptoms Of High Blood Sugar

High blood sugar or hyperglycemia occurs when the insulin in the body is insufficient or not able to process the glucose in blood appropriately. Despite the relationship of hyperglycemia, its relative, hypoglycemia and diabetes, people who don’t have diabetes can also have high or low blood sugar levels.

People who don’t have diabetes can also have high or low blood sugar levels.
