	Hyperglycemia - For Parents & Kids - American Diabetes Association
		Hyperglycemia is caused by having too much glucose and/or not enough insulin in the body.
		In fact, the symptoms of diabetes are the same as the symptoms of hyperglycemia.
		The two main reasons for having hyperglycemia are poor blood glucose control and getting sick.

	High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia) - RealAge Medical Encyclopedia
		Hyperglycemia is a high level of sugar in the blood.
		Hyperglycemia may occur if you are not diabetic but have another illness that makes it hard for your body to process sugar, such as an inflammation of the pancreas (called pancreatitis).
		Hyperglycemia that occurs from medicines that you are taking usually goes away when the medicine is stopped.

	The Effect of HAART and HCV Infection on the Development of Hyperglycemia Among HIV-Infected Persons
		Methods: The prevalence of hyperglycemia and the incidence of hyperglycemia were compared among persons with and without HCV infection while on a protease inhibitor (PI)-containing HAART regimen, a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-containing regimen, or a regimen that contained both a PI and an NNRTI.
		New-onset hyperglycemia was observed in 47 (4.2%) of the remaining 1128 HAART recipients, an incidence of 3.5 per 100 person-years (95% CI, 2.6-4.6).
		Suggesting that replacement of a PI with nevirapine reversed hyperglycemia and supports the hypothesis that it is PIs and not HIV itself or the viral suppression and immune reconstitution associated with therapy that are responsible for hyperglycemia.

	Tequin Health Risk: Hyperglycemia - High Blood Sugar
		Hyperglycemia or High Blood Sugar is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma.
		Diabetic Hyperglycemia is one of the classic symptoms of diabetes mellitus, the others being frequent and excessive thirst accompanied by frequent and excessive urination.
		By comparison to hyperglycemia as an independent non-diabetic condition, Diabetes mellitus, in its organic form, is an apparently auto-immune disease of unknown cause and unknown cure, in which the islets of Langerhans (a subordinate organ within the pancreas) fail to produce sufficient quantities of the hormone insulin or produce no insulin at all

	Diabetes and Hyperglycemia from WebMD
		Hyperglycemia, or high blood glucose levels, develops when there is too much sugar in the blood.
		Hyperglycemia can also lead to more serious conditions, including ketoacidosis -- mostly in people with type 1 diabetes -- and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) in people with type 2 diabetes or in people at risk for type 2 diabetes.
		If hyperglycemia is left untreated, it may develop into an emergency condition called ketoacidosis (if you have type 1 diabetes) or HHNS (if you have type 2 diabetes).

	Hyperglycemia Management With LANTUS® Basal Insulin
		LANTUS® is indicated for once-daily subcutaneous administration, at the same time each day, for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients (6 years and older) with type 1 diabetes mellitus or adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who require basal (long-acting) insulin for the control of hyperglycemia.
		Apidra® (insulin glulisine [rDNA origin] injection) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with diabetes mellitus for the control of hyperglycemia.
		Apidra® (insulin glulisine [rDNA origin] injection) has a more rapid onset of action and a shorter duration of action than regular human insulin.

	eMedicine - Metabolic Disease & Stroke: Hyperglycemia/Hypoglycemia : Article by Pitchaiah Mandava, MD, PhD
		Preexisting hyperglycemia is found commonly in patients presenting with acute stroke, and hypoglycemia may present with focal symptoms mimicking acute stroke.
		Notably, moderate hyperglycemia is presently not an exclusion criterion for administration of rtPA in patients with acute stroke; the range of blood glucose for which rtPA treatment of patients with acute stroke is acceptable is 50-400 mg/dL.
		Hyperglycemia also may be seen in the setting of an acute stroke without a history of diabetes, presumably due to a sympathetic response to the infarct.

		Certain eating disorders can produce acute non-diabetic hyperglycemia, as in the binge phase of bulimia nervosa, when the subject consumes an incredible number of calories at once, frequently from foods that are high in both simple and complex carbohydrates - the body simply having a fierce craving for the energy that carbohydrates provide.

		Hyperglycemia is frequently seen in acutely ill patients and has historically been viewed as a normal response to stress.
		Although the specific mechanisms by which hyperglycemia contributes to poor outcomes are as yet unknown, disruption of normal mitochondrial respiration, direct glucose toxicity, accumulation of asymmetric dimethylarginine, and impairment of immune cell function are among the possibilities implicated.
		In addition to recognizing and treating hyperglycemia, it is as important to identify other frequently overlooked factors that contribute to hyperglycemia, such as medications, intravenous fluids, and enteral and parenteral nutrition.

	Controlling Hyperglycemia in the Hospital: A Matter of Life and Death
		The degree of hyperglycemia may be an important predictor of morbidity and mortality among patients with myocardial infarction or stroke and those undergoing surgical procedures, including coronary artery bypass.
		Hyperglycemia should be aggressively controlled from the time of admission regardless of patients' primary medical problem or previous diabetes status.
		It is essential to identify hyperglycemia at the time of hospital admission and to implement therapy to achieve and maintain glucose levels as close to normal as possible, regardless of a patient's primary reason for admission or previous diabetes status.

	Insulin Resistance and Hyperglycemia
		Hyperglycemia with or without diabetes has been reported in 3-17% of patients and has occurred at a median of about 60 days, with a range of 2 days to more than a year, after starting therapy.
		The etiology of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia in HIV-infected patients is probably multifactorial, with varying contributions from traditional risk factors (eg, obesity, family history), comorbid conditions (eg, hepatitis C virus infection), and antiretroviral-related factors (eg, direct effects of PIs, hepatic steatosis, and fat redistribution).
		For hyperglycemia that is associated with the use of PIs, switching to an alternative agent (eg, a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or a different PI) may be effective if the HIV treatment history and resistance profile permit.

	Variation in the Severity and Duration of Hyperglycemia in the C - The Jackson Laboratory
		Although B6-ob/ob mice are sometimes referred to as "obese hyperglycemic", their hyperglycemia is generally observed to be transient, initiating when the mice are weaned at around 1 month of age and subsiding to a near-normal glycemic level by 5 months.
		Remission from hyperglycemia is correlated with a compensatory hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the pancreatic beta cells.
		This limited survey of glycemic changes in B6-ob/ob mice indicates that while the period of hyperglycemia is transient, individual variability exists in both the degree of hyperglycemia attained, as well as the rate of remission from hyperglycemia.

	Hyperglycemia and Diabetes Alert
		Hyperglycemia, in some cases extreme and associated with ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar coma or death, has been reported in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics.
		Assessment of the relationship between atypical antipsychotic use and glucose abnormalities is complicated by the possibility of an increased background risk of diabetes mellitus in patients with schizophrenia and the increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus in the general population.
		In some cases, hyperglycemia has resolved when the atypical antipsychotic was discontinued; however, some patients required continuation of anti-diabetic treatment despite discontinuation of the suspect drug.

	What is Hyperglycemia?
		Hyperglycemia is a symptom and cause of diabetes in which there are elevated levels of blood sugar, or glucose, in the bloodstream.
		In both Type I and Type II diabetes, hyperglycemia results from a complication with insulin, the chemical that lets cells get energy from glucose.
		Hyperglycemia can be detected by measuring sugar levels in blood and urine, which might lead to a diagnosis of diabetes.
