Hyperglycemia (High Blood Sugar)
Hyperglycemia is a blood sugar level above your child's target range. We expect some blood sugars to be above or below target at times, but the goal is at least 75% of their blood sugar tests will be within range.
The following video explains what causes high blood sugar, symptoms to be aware of, and how to treat it. It will also discuss a dangerous condition called diabetic ketoacidosis (D.K.A.) which can occur if high blood sugars are not corrected.
