Hyperglycemia: Prevention

To prevent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.

Behavioral risk factors

  • Diet
    • Consumption of very large amounts of carbohydrates with a high glycemic index (mono- and disaccharides) can lead to hyperglycemia (postprandial hyperglycemia).
    • Micronutrient deficiency (vital substances) – see prevention with micronutrients.
