2. Hyperglycemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperglycemia

   Insulin resistance desensitizes insulin receptors, preventing insulin from lowering blood sugar levels. [38] The leading cause of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes is the failure of insulin to suppress glucose production by glycolysis and gluconeogenesis due to insulin resistance. [39]

3. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

   If blood sugar levels remain too high the body suppresses appetite over the short term. Long-term hyperglycemia causes many health problems including heart disease, cancer, [25] eye, kidney, and nerve damage. [26] Blood sugar levels above 16.7 mmol/L (300 mg/dL) can cause fatal reactions.

4. Diabetic coma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetic_coma

   Diabetic ketoacidosis (usually type 1) advanced enough to result in unconsciousness from a combination of a severely increased blood sugar level, dehydration and shock, and exhaustion; Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma (usually type 2) in which an extremely high blood sugar level and dehydration alone are sufficient to cause unconsciousness.

5. Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperosmolar_hyperglycemic...

   Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), also known as hyperosmolar non-ketotic state (HONK), is a complication of diabetes mellitus in which high blood sugar results in high osmolarity without significant ketoacidosis. [4] [5] Symptoms include signs of dehydration, weakness, leg cramps, vision problems, and an altered level of consciousness. [2]

6. Complications of diabetes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complications_of_diabetes

   The complications of diabetes can dramatically impair quality of life and cause long-lasting disability. Overall, complications are far less common and less severe in people with well-controlled blood sugar levels. [3] [4] [5] Some non-modifiable risk factors such as age at diabetes onset, type of diabetes, gender, and genetics may influence risk.

7. Hyperosmolar syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperosmolar_syndrome

   Hyperosmolar syndrome or diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome is a medical emergency caused by a very high blood glucose level. The prefix "hyper-" means high, and "osmolarity" is a measure of the concentration of active particles in a solution, so the name of the syndrome simply refers to the high concentration of glucose in the blood.
