Explanation/ Answer:
Hyperglycemia occurs when the body does not produce or use enough insulin, which is a hormone that absorbs glucose into cells for use as energy.
I didn't see any multiple-choice or possible answers, so I can't be sure what the exact answer is, but here is a list of hyperglycemia causes so you can narrow down your search:
- Not using enough insulin or oral diabetes medication.
- Not injecting insulin properly or using expired insulin.
- Not following your diabetes eating plan.
- Having an illness or infection.
- Using certain medications, such as steroids.
