Hypers (hyperglycaemia) happen when blood glucose levels go too high.
Some of the reasons hypers happen are:
- missed insulin dose
- too little insulin given
- eating too much sugary or starchy food
- over-treating a hypo
- stress
- being unwell with an infection.
Symptoms include:
- increased thirst
- passing urine more frequently
- headaches
- lethargy
- abdominal pain.
