Dangerously high blood sugar levels, also known as hyperglycemia, can occur when there is too much sugar in the blood. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including not enough insulin in the body, eating too much sugar or carbohydrates, not exercising enough, or certain medications. It can also be caused by an underlying health condition, such as diabetes.

When blood sugar levels rise too high, it can cause serious problems. High levels of sugar in the blood can damage organs, blood vessels, and nerves, leading to a number of medical complications. Hyperglycemia can cause blurry vision, fatigue, increased thirst and urination, and even coma or death if not treated.

The exact level at which blood sugar is considered to be dangerously high varies depending on the individual, but is generally considered to be above 200 mg/dL. A person with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels regularly and consult their doctor if it rises too high. Treatment may involve lifestyle changes, medications, or insulin injections.
