Answer

Hyperglycemia occurs when there is inadequate amount of insulin secretion by the pancreas which can cause in high blood glucose levels, and the loss of glucose from the body in the urine. When sugars cannot be used as cellular fuel, more fats are then released, resulting in high fatty acid levels in the blood, which is an issue called Lipdemia.
