Subject: Hyperglycemia vs Hypoglycemia

 

Chelle Rae,

I am surprised that on one has asked if we are talking about hypoglycemia as

used in your original message, or hyperglycemia, as was described in the

body. If I read your message correctly you are concerned with

"hyperglycemia" or high blood sugar. "Hypoglycemia", also a relatively

common disorder, refers to low blood sugar. There are considerable Web

resources that will help answer your questions. The American Diabetes

Association is a good starting place (www.diabetes.org). There are many

other sites and I would recommend a search under "diabetes".

Good Luck,

Bruce
