A blood sugar level exceeding 250 mg/dL is considered a dangerously high and serious sugar level (hyperglycemia).
High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, signifies that there's an excessive amount of glucose in your bloodstream. While levels between 180 to 250 mg/dL are considered high, going above 250 mg/dL is when the situation becomes potentially dangerous and requires immediate attention.
Here's a breakdown:
- High Blood Sugar (Hyperglycemia): Occurs when blood glucose levels are elevated.
- Dangerous Range: A blood sugar level consistently above 250 mg/dL poses significant health risks.
If you or someone you know has blood sugar levels consistently at or above 250 mg/dL, seek immediate medical attention. This level indicates a serious health concern requiring prompt intervention.
