Hypers

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.
