High Blood Sugar Causes

High blood sugars, or hyperglycemia, are extremely common among those with diabetes.

Diabetics who suffer from long-term hyperglycemia have a 3-fold (300%) greater risk of being hospitalized compared to non-diabetics (1).

In fact, high blood sugars are a common enough occurrence to be reported in 22 – 46% of non-critically ill hospitalized patients.

Loads of medical research data also indicate that, both, diabetics and non-diabetics with hyperglycemia are associated with a 15% increased death rate (2).
