Hyperglycemia

Definition

Abnormally high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood, typically above 180 mg/dL. A hallmark of diabetes mellitus and can lead to serious complications if prolonged.

Etymology

From Greek 'hyper' (above/excessive), 'glykys' (sweet), and 'haima' (blood), literally meaning 'excessive sweet blood.' The term was coined in the late 19th century as chemical tests for blood sugar were developed.

Kelly Says

Ancient physicians actually diagnosed diabetes by tasting urine for sweetness - they noticed that diabetic patients' urine attracted ants! Modern blood glucose meters can detect hyperglycemia in seconds, but the underlying problem of cellular 'starvation in the midst of plenty' remains the same.
