High blood sugar, also known as hyperglycemia, is associated with diabetes and
prediabetes. Prediabetes is when your blood sugar is high, but not high enough
to be classified as diabetes.
Your body usually manages your blood sugar levels by producing insulin, a
hormone that allows your cells to use the circulating sugar in your blood. As
such, insulin is the most important regulator of blood sugar levels.
However, multiple factors can impair blood sugar management and lead to
hyperglycemia.
Internal causes for high blood sugar include when your liver produces too much
glucose, your body makes too little insulin, or your body cant effectively use
insulin. The latter is known as insulin resistance.
