12+ Blood Sugar Abnormal
Background. Hyperglycemia doesn't cause symptoms until glucose values are significantly elevated — usually above 180 to 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl), or 10 to 11.1 millimoles per liter (mmol/l). Signs of low blood sugar are different for everyone.
Blood sugar below 70 mg/dl is considered low. High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) affects people who have diabetes. Without enough glucose as fuel, we lose the ability to function normally.
Our blood sugar levels can get too high when we don’t have enough insulin, or when our insulin isn’t working well.
Diabetic ketoacidosis develops when you don't have enough insulin in your body. What does abnormal blood sugar mean? Any extra glucose is stored in your liver and muscles in the form of glycogen. As your blood sugar level returns to normal, so does the secretion of insulin from your pancreas.
