Hyperglycemia is the presence of glucose (sugar) levels in the blood that are higher than normal. It can appear in people with diabetes or from other situations that alter the body's handling of sugar.
Common symptoms:

When to see the doctor? If the symptoms are intense, persistent or accompanied by general malaise, a prompt evaluation is advisable; severe cases require urgent care.
Which specialist treats it? The internist and the family physician evaluate hyperglycemia comprehensively, while the diabetes specialist and the nephrologist participate depending on the situation; the emergency physician handles acute episodes. If you have been told about high sugar levels, following up with a professional helps take care of yourself.
