DHyperlipidemia

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Hyperglycemia refers to elevated levels of glucose in the blood, commonly associated with diabetes mellitus. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Symptoms of hyperglycemia include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. Chronic hyperglycemia can lead to serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney failure, and retinopathy. Management of blood glucose levels is crucial for individuals with diabetes to prevent these complications.

I think it's B) Hyperglycemia too, because hyper means high and glycemia refers to sugar levels.

High blood sugar, huh? Must be B) Hyperglycemia. Although, I did hear a rumor that the correct answer is actually 'Sugary Goodness'.
