What condition does a patient with hyper blood glycemia suffer from?

Low blood sugar
High blood pressure
High blood sugar
Low blood pressure

The correct answer is: High blood sugar

A patient with hyper blood glycemia suffers from high blood sugar. This is caused by the body's inability to produce or effectively use insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Option A is incorrect because hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, is the opposite condition. Option B is incorrect because hyper blood glycemia does not directly affect blood pressure. Option D is incorrect because low blood pressure is not indicative of high blood sugar levels. It is important for a patient with hyper blood glycemia to manage their condition through proper diet, exercise, and medication to prevent further health complications.
