Glucose highs are usually clinically referred to as elevated blood glucose and can be caused by a variety of factors, so patients need to monitor their blood glucose and complete relevant laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis before following up with symptomatic and causative treatment.
Normal people can experience a transient increase in blood glucose when they eat a lot of sugar, when they experience stress such as trauma, or when they are stressed or emotional.
Increased blood glucose is most common in diabetic patients and can be diagnosed as type 1 diabetes (absolute insulin insufficiency) or type 2 diabetes (relative insulin insufficiency) based on the glucose tolerance test and insulin release test, with the former being treated mainly with oral hypoglycemic drugs and the latter with subcutaneous insulin injections.
In addition to medications to lower blood glucose, patients should monitor their blood glucose 7 times a day, and should take care to limit fat and calories in their diet, eat regular meals, and get appropriate physical activity.
