Hyperglycemia is an abnormally increased content of glucose in the blood.
Presentation
CASE REPORT: We present a case of a patient with no known diabetes history who presented with uncontrolled jerky movements of one-half of her body, which resolved with achievement of euglycemia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Fatigue
Hyperglycemia symptoms: thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, hunger, fatigue. Blood glucose levels 240 mg / dL(13.3mmolL) What to do Monitor your blood glucose levels frequently. [bionime.com]
Mild hyperglycemia causes no symptoms, but more severe hyperglycemia causes an increase in urine volume and thirst, fatigue and weakness, and increased susceptibility to infection. [britannica.com]
Causes Not enough insulin Too much food or too much sugar in food Illness, infection, stress Less exercise than usual Symptoms Excessive thirst Frequent urination Fatigue Dehydration Headache Irritability Nausea/vomiting Stomachache Fruity odor on the [chp.edu]
However, the symptoms of hyperglycemia – frequent urination, increased thirst, blurred vision, fatigue – don’t typically manifest until levels are significantly elevated between 180 to 200 (mg/dL). [dexcom.com]

Symptoms of this life-threatening complication are nausea, vomiting, dry mouth, shortness of breath, deep, rapid breathing, and a fruity smell to the breath. [diabetesforecast.org]
Nausea and vomiting may accompany hyperglycemia during pregnancy. A woman may also lose her appetite, says EVMS. Some abdominal cramping or pain may accompany the other symptoms of high blood sugar levels. [livestrong.com]

Polydipsia
CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old, male type-2 diabetic patient with liver cirrhosis stage Child-Pugh B was admitted due to dysmetria of his right arm, gait disturbance, dizziness, vertigo, and polyuria, polydipsia after a binge-eating attack of sweets [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The signs of hyperglycemia are polydipsia (a great thirst), polyuria (a need to urinate often), and a dry mouth. The term "hyperglycemia" comes from the Greek "hyper-" high, over, beyond, above "glykys" sweet "haima" blood. [rxlist.com]
Everything you need to know about hyperglycemia How to avoid high blood glucose levels Common Symptoms of Hyperglycemia The Classic Symptoms Polyphagia (frequently hungry) Polyuria (frequently urinating) Polydipsia (frequently thirsty) Other Symptoms [endocrineweb.com]
This is referred to as polydipsia. Increased urination, particularly at night, which is referred to as polyuria. Increased hunger and food intake, which is referred to as polyphagia. [news-medical.net]
These diabetes control goals should help prevent acute symptoms of hyperglycemia, such as polyuria, nocturia and polydipsia. In addition, they should help prevent subacute complications such as infections, weight loss and osmotic diuresis. [healio.com]

People who have severe hypoglycemia may feel very drowsy and confused, and might even become unconscious. If this happens, someone else can inject the hormone glucagon. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Complications of Hyperglycemia Hyperglycemia or high blood sugar (also spelled hyperglycemia, not to be confused with the opposite disorder, hypoglycemia) is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. [longdom.org]
Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar (also spelled hyperglycaemia or hyperglycæmia, not to be confused with the opposite disorder, hypoglycemia) is a condition in which an excessive amount of glucose circulates in the blood plasma. [omicsonline.org]
If hypoglycemia is not treated immediately, it can result in: Severe confusion and disorientation, Unconsciousness, Seizures, Coma, Death. [scitechnol.com]
