JAKARTA, celebrities.id – Sufferers diabetes type 1 or 2 of course know that blood sugar levels in the body can fluctuate drastically. As a result, you have to monitor it regularly to keep the levels under control.
However, blood sugar levels are also affected by daily activities, so fluctuations in blood sugar are common. Even for those of you who are undiagnosed with the condition, it becomes a problem when it stays high. So it is recommended to regularly check it.
Reported by the Times of India, Wednesday (16/3/2022), high blood sugar level or hyperglycemia, is referred to as a condition in which there is too much glucose in the blood. In non-diabetics, it can be caused by other factors such as: stress or other chronic conditions. Even if the person is not diagnosed with diabetes, it is very important to manage their blood sugar levels.
Persistently high blood sugar levels can make it harder for the body to heal, increase the risk of infection and may have long-term effects on other organs such as the eyes and kidneys. Over time, it can also increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
If the fasting glucose level is between 100-125 mg/dL or more than 180 mg/dL one to two hours after eating, the condition is called hyperglycemia.
Furthermore, there are several factors that can cause blood sugar to be high in non-diabetic patients. Some of the most common are:
1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Where this condition causes hormonal imbalances in women, including those of reproductive age.
This can lead to high production of testosterone, insulin, and cytokines. They are even insulin resistant and cannot use all the glucose in the blood to produce energy.
2. Stress
Unmanaged stress can cause spikes in levels of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. They in turn increase blood sugar levels, which is the perfect natural response to the emotional stress a person is experiencing.
