Expert Solution
Step 1

Hyperglycemia is a condition where the blood glucose levels in the blood are increased. The condition arises when the body has inadequate levels of insulin to control the blood sugar. Hyperglycemia also develops due to the resistance to the actions of insulin, where the body is unable to use insulin to turn glucose into glycogen (stored form of glucose in liver). Some of the symptoms of the hyperglycemic patients include: increased thirst, excessive hunger, fatigue, blurred vision and headache.
