what is hyperglycemia?

Question:

Answers:
Hypoglycemia is low blood sugar. It occurs when the level of sugar, or glucose, in the blood drops too low to fuel the body.

Hypoglycemia is not a disease but a condition that results from a variety of causes. The main types of hypoglycemia are:

Fasting low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). This type occurs when you have not eaten for many hours, such as overnight. It is frequently associated with having too much insulin in the blood, some medications, alcohol use, hereditary problems with the metabolizing of carbohydrates, and other health conditions.
Nonfasting low blood sugar (also called reactive or postprandial hypoglycemia). This type develops within 3 to 4 hours after eating. It can be caused by hereditary enzyme deficiencies such as galactosemia or by surgery to remove all or part of the stomach. Sometimes the cause is unknown. Nonfasting hypoglycemia within 1 to 2 hours after a meal (alimentary hypoglycemia) can occur if stomach contents empty into the intestines too rapidly.
