Hyperglycaemia is the defining characteristic of diabetes mellitus.
While it is often mistaken for diabetes or hyperglycaemia, hyperinsulinemia can result from a variety of metabolic diseases and conditions.
It can also lead to hyperglycaemia, which is less dangerous but can be very damaging over time.
This suggested that the new criteria appeared to be effective at identifying people with both unfavourable cardiovascular disease risk-factor profiles and evidence of longterm exposure to hyperglycaemia.
If hyperglycaemia is first noted in a setting of acute stress such as hospital admission, a period of four to six weeks after the acute event is recommended before testing.
Such patients often do not complain of typical symptomatology of hyperglycaemia, but frequently remark that once on insulin they have much more energy and feel generally better.
The principal goal of treatment is to prevent acute complications of diabetes, which can affect daily life such as hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia and in the long-term the prevention of complications.
Short-term complications included infection, hyperglycaemia, hypertension, gastrointestinal bleeding and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Thus, it is likely that the mapped loci for post-pancreatectomy hyperglycaemia are distinct from those of spontaneous hyperglycaemia.
