0 a condition in which there is too much glucose in the blood:
Hyperglycaemia is the defining characteristic of diabetes mellitus.
More research on the effects of hyperglycaemia on cognition would also be interesting.
The hyperglycaemia that denotes poor control should, as suggested above, trigger a programmed response in the clinician.
The disorder is defined by insulin resistance and an insulin secretory defect resulting in impaired glucose tolerance and persistent hyperglycaemia.
Urinalysis may be quite acceptable in patients whose treatment is limited to dietary therapy, where warning of hyperglycaemia is what is wanted.
Short acting agents which stimulate insulin secretion and are designed to control post-prandial hyperglycaemia.
In the nonpregnant patient, they have become the drug of choice after dietary modification has failed to reduce hyperglycaemia.
Risk factors in the remaining three patients were : chronic myelogenous leukaemia, immunosuppression for renal transplant, and hyperglycaemia induced by corticosteroid used for temporal arteritis.
Thus, it is likely that the mapped loci for post-pancreatectomy hyperglycaemia are distinct from those of spontaneous hyperglycaemia.
