Hyperglycemia & Hypoglycemia
Diabetes Mellitus is a disease in which your body produces less or no insulin, or the insulin being produced by your body is not effective to be utilized. Insulin is important as it facilitates the entry of glucose in to cells. Glucose is the usable form of sugar in our body and it is essential as energy-source of cells. Because glucose in not utilized by the cells, it remains in the blood stream causing a rise in the amount of glucose in the blood which we call hyperglycemia.
My mom is a diabetes, and she is taking insulin. She used to have episodes of sudden weakness, feeling cold and other discomforts. Since she was scared of consulting a doctor, we didn't now the reason of her weird symptoms until I studied Diabetes back in college (BS Nursing course). She was actually having hypoglycemia.
