Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. To prevent high blood sugar emergencies, treat infections early. Untreated infections (such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and skin infections) can increase the risk for a high blood sugar emergency.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Glucose tolerance progressively declines with age, leading to a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and post challenge hyperglycemia in the older population. Age-related glucose intolerance in humans is often accompanied by insulin.
