Lets talk Hyperglycemia

I wanted to talk real quick about hyperglycimia (high blood sugar).

Causes of high blood sugars: too much food intake, too little insulin or diabetes pills, illness, or stress.
* Keep in mind that highs will often start out slowly and gradually rise.

Some of the symptoms may include:
1) Extreme thirst
2) Need to urinate often
3) Dry skin
4) Hunger
5) Blurry vision
6) Drowsy

***High blood glucose may lead to a medical emergency if not treated***
