Introduction
Hyperglycemia is a condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, which may result from impaired pancreatic beta-cell function, excessive renal reabsorption of glucose, insulin resistance, or other factors that disrupt the balance between glucose production and utilization. Once hyperglycemia develops, it is usually difficult to achieve a complete cure. Recurrence is common, often triggered by excessive food intake or the presence of chronic diseases.
Elevated blood glucose usually refers to hyperglycemia. In 29-year-olds, hyperglycemia generally cannot be completely cured.
Hyperglycemia may result from factors such as damage to pancreatic β-cells, excessive renal reabsorption of glucose, or insulin resistance, leading to an imbalance between glucose production and utilization, thereby causing elevated blood glucose levels. After the onset of hyperglycemia, blood glucose levels can gradually return to normal through improving unhealthy dietary habits, engaging in moderate physical activity, or taking glucose-lowering medications such as glibenclamide or glipizide under medical supervision. However, achieving a complete cure is usually difficult. The condition tends to recur due to overeating or the presence of chronic diseases such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia; therefore, hyperglycemia in 29-year-olds generally cannot be completely cured.
Individuals aged 29 with hyperglycemia need regular blood glucose monitoring to track changes in glucose levels and allow timely regulation. Prolonged hyperglycemia increases the risk of developing diabetes, causing symptoms such as excessive thirst and frequent urination, as well as complications including diabetic retinopathy and diabetic nephropathy.
